Who uses Infiniti Stock 19 inch Rims?

Just wondering who uses the stock 19 inch G35c rims, other stock infiniti rims, or if you have custom installed rims.

It just surprices me how many g35c's ive seen with out the stock 19 inch rims- i think they're awsome

I think the stock 19s look great! It's really hard to justify dropping $3000+ on new wheels.

As much as I would like to get some new wheels . . . There's a side of me, which cannot justify the purchase. I think the 19" OEM's look just fine.

I have the stock 18's and I think they look great. Watched my lady driving away from our place the other day and they look good rolling

I would still like to get some aftermarket wheels though. I like making it look different than the norm. I cant seem to leave anything stock though.

I'll be picking up my car next week, and I'm a little disappointed that I need to take the OEM 19's with the sport suspension package. I'd almost rather save the money and have OEM 17's even, for winter wheels- at least then I could justify the cost of getting some nice aftermarket rims.

And I like the OEM 19's a lot, it's just that I like to have something stand out about the car, you know? Instead I'll have to throw some money into 17/18 trash-around winter wheels...*sigh*

I have OEM 19's on in the summer and OEM 17's w/winter treads in the snow season. I really like the OEM 19's a lot.

I agree. I can't tell you how often I've had guys come up to me at gas stations, and make favorable comments about my stock 19" wheels. And to top it off, the 05s don't accumulate brake dust.

I have also not found any reason to justify the $8K set of Fikses I want. The stock 19s are a good looking set of factory wheels in my opinion.

I agree, I just took the winter set of Gram Lights off and put the OEM 19's back on. They look great on the car and I am going to have to really **** them up before I consider replacing them.
It's nice to be different but Nissan picked a great looking wheel in the first place.

I have 19 OEM,

now here's another question which looks better the 18" or the 19" OEM?

I think sometimes 18" looks better. 19" looks better at a rear angle view.

The factory 18's that came on my '04 6MT are nice, but I really like to be different. I just ordered a set of 19" PIAA Super Rozza 2-piece in Hyper Black. With a little luck, I'll have them on within a week. Can't wait.

The Lexion X503 is an awesome wheel, but it's brand new and isn't available in gunmetal yet. I also considered the '06 factory OEM wheels in chrome (which I'm pretty sure are also made by Rays Engineering). They look great, but were a little too heavy at about 30 lbs. each.

Talking Rims

I really liked the OEM 19" on my car but I did go with 19" chrome TSWs.
