^ you can always do the drop later down the road I have the same offsets on my Axis Milanos and the same tire specs 245/40/19 and I'm riding on unrevised 350z springs in the front and G35coupe springs in the rear on the factory sport shocks.

Your car looks great Perry. The Axis Milanos are a sweet looking rim, they have always been one of my favourites.

hey man the +40 for the tire is not the offset, its the height of the tire sidewall, tires don't have offsets. just clearing this up a little, not sure if you knew this.

As for 245/35 vs 245/40, it all depends on the look you want. I have 245/40's on my oem 19's right now and they look big. I would trade them for 35's in a second.

+1...35 series are better looking, sportier and there is no difference in the ride quality compared to the 40 series tires.

those milanos are nice. They were a second choice of mine. Do you think they are better overall than the sevas? Should I just go with a 35 series tire? I want a sporty look

Sevas are not bad wheels but stay away from the superlight ones like the S55.

I like the look of the S-star a lot and don't think they have the same issues as the super-light (for their size) S-55's. I would try the Sevas.

Also have you asked Kenny at AutoMotiveMods for a price? He seems to always have the best deals.

I did give them a PM but they have yet to get backt o me. I think I'm going to go ahead with the sevas anyway. It seems like the problems that occured were with the lighter wheels (as you said ttrank). They are just a wheel that I immediatly saw and fell in love with.

+1 on he sevas they are a nicer looking 5 spoke rim over my milanos. I'm not sure of the weight of the S-Stars but my milanos are 26lbs each which is pretty damn good for a 19" rim.

I think I saw somewhere the sevas were 24lbs. I could be wrong but that number is sticking in my head

Just got a PM from Kenny from AutomotiveMods... The Seva S Stars are no longer in production for the g35 until sometime next year. DAMN!

Looks like the rim search starts all over. Unless they are produced again before March!
