They don't look nice at all, the **** paint job on the spokes is orange peeled like a 3rd grade speccy painted it.

Don't just buy wack **** because it's close to home, find something you WANT.

If you're after OEM wheels, keep on after them. Don't settle for poorly made aftermarket wheels that are around the same price range.

But they come with "turner" lug nuts, I say do it.

On a serious note, Nankang tires are **** and the fact that you would spend $450 for wheels and tires should have been a clue this is not something you want to buy. Look in the marketplacce for a set of sedan sport 18's or coupe 18's. You won't be sorry.

i would say save your money man ... the paint will probably chip off or something .. and plus what are the offsets ??? bolt pattern ??? people shop around and sometimes it takes time to find the right rims for your car ... dont always buy the first set you find and if its a good deal then do research on the wheels and stuff ...

Those don't look like they have the right bolt pattern at all.

Im new on here, just got my g35 about a month ago.
I've been looking for wheels too and the best I came up with so far were
Motegi MR109
They fit, I just dont know if they would actually look nice once I put them on

Wheels and tires for $450 = JUNK. Plus those tires aren't even close to the correct size (almost 3" smaller in diameter). I doubt you'll be able to turn a corner at normal speeds without the VDC kicking on. Yes, they can probably put the correct size on, but those wheels are still garbage.

If you're both patient and diligent in searching the Marketplace and craigslist, you'll find a decent set of 18" OEMs, either Sedan or Coupe. And even if they're not perfect, you're better off buying them and fixing them than buying inferior aftermarket.
