A lot of people do have coupe 19s on their sedans. They looks awesome but they also look stock.

If you want to keep the car in the vein of OEM keep them. If you want to look like you've modded your car, go aftermarket.

If you want to look modded to only those who mod, powder coat or paint them

I think you should sell them to me for $500 and put that money towards a set of Volks. Then I can look just like Janik!!

I'd keep them. But I like my car to look OEM, and I think the Coupe 18's and 19's both look very good. To me, a nicer car (BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, etc.) almost never looks better with aftermarket wheels because the stock wheels already look really good. I can think of a lot better ways to spend $2K+.

I happen to like that the cpe 19s have hella aggressive offsets on the sedan with no spacers. Couple them with 35 series tires 255mm out back with front z and rear gcpe non-sport springs and mix in the full aero-kit.........and the car has "the look" that should have come from factory......with only 1 option--twin turbo and upgraded big-brake kit--possibly a true dual exhaust.....not single--dual exit that is so common today.

I especially like how the avg. person can't figure out why my G looks so much better than the other 2003-04 Gs they've seen. Even the car enthusiasts look at my G and try and figure out the same thing.........

I like the aggressive stock look.


Pics don't do justice.........
