that is a stock m45, what other wheels do you think they are?

if they were forged it would probably say so on them so that would be easy to find out

I have no idea what other wheels they could be. All I said is that they look slightly different in the pictures. Who really cares? The majority of people on here think the M45's look good on G35's. If the guy wants them, he should wait and get them.

You're right, he was looking for opinions. I just disagree that they look 'old manish'.

Anyway, call me crazy, but these are not the same wheels.

^no you're wrong, they are a similar design but the first ones your posted are the M Sport V2, the other photos are of the M sport V1.

The spokes flatten out and widen at the top on the new version, they are straight spokes on the old version. I believe they changed this for 2008 models.

OP; I say buy the coupe wheels, for $350 you can't go wrong, they will give you some new love for the car at a cheap cost. You can always sell them later on.

He didn't ask for opinions on M wheels.

thanks all for your feedback.

he asked what he should do, and I said the coupe 18s loo better

i mean he didn't ask if M wheels were ugly or not but he did ask which he should get, so I answered by saying he should get the 18s and then added that I personally think they look better..why is everyone so touchy on this forum?

Cop the coupe 18's. Sell your stocks. Then continue to look for the m45 wheels you want. When you get them, keep the coupe 18's as backups.
