No I am serious, they say forged right on the lip lol

The coupe wheels were made by Rays and were forged 19s. The 18s were a heavier cast wheel that came on sedans with sport package.

They sure do! The 04 stock wheels are pretty bad, sport or non sport.

I can't understand why car manufacturers don't put nice looking wheels on cars? They make the design for them why not make them a bad *** design?

lol they probably have an agreement that the wheels have to be a certain amount of ugly to be on production cars.

^ I want that job!

"Do you have your ugliness report on the new wheel design ready?"

"Yes, I rate these wheels as an ugly factor of 82."

"Is that 82% ?"

"No, that's 82 as in... these wheels look like they're from 1982."

"Excellent, we'll go ahead with this design then."

I think the coupe 19s, Z track 18s, the grand touring 18/19 Z combo, the new 370 forged oem 19s and the oem Nismos are all great looking oems that are built to a VERY high quality. Better than most aftermarkets for strength, looks and weight.
