What rims to get as a grad present?

Ok, well im graduating from college in 2 weeks and my pops said he wants to get me some wheels for graduation.

I have a DG Nismo outfitted sedan with the sport wheels now and stock suspension (will prolly go with eibach pro kit)

I want to keep overall diameter of the wheel tire combo, so most likely going to go with 19"s

Suggestions?

I really like G35 papas wheels, im guessing my budget is about $2000-2,700 (including tires)

thanks guys

jon!

Well...if you're looking for mesh wheels I say SSR MS1 with a step lip of course.

Early congrats on graduating Jon. I hope to be doing the same thing for my sons when they graduate.

Tell pops to up the present and get some DPEs or iForged

Maya's, no questions asked. or VOLK GT-S's are you an open rim person? do you like seeing the brakes? or do you like a full rim like a VS-XX? i like open, so Gt-S or Mata MRS are my favorites, other similar mayas are GREAT!!!

i'd throw in a little of your own money on top of pop's grad money and go for some quality wheels. Like papa said.. DPE's would be baller.

like my good friend Cost_a_G stated....SSR ms1 in a step lip. those are hot, not to mention, affordable. i was thinking about those, but only comes in 18s, and 19s. i want to upgrade to 20s.

Nice present....!

If someone was willing to buy wheels for me I'd be looking at Works wheels
from F1 motorsports. This place is like the flippin candy store of wheels
and they really know everything about what's best for your car....size...
offset etc.

wow, thos SSR Prof Ms1's are the best, i love SSR wheels, i had some old school SSR Schumacher wheels on my Supercharged Si back in the day, those wre the rarest of all JDM tyte wheels, took me a fwe years to find a set, 16" lightweight, forged, the real deal.

I think i still like Iforged Essen the best, but those SSR's are nice, i wonder who sells them, where i can get pricing.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys, keep them comming!
