^Not bad. Could be slightly more aggressive offset, but you could always add spacers.
What color is your G?

Its Liquid Platnium and i have stock 18's on the car right now in hyper silver. I think 19's with Eibach Pro-Kit springs would look great with those and it won't break my bank lol.

^Sounds like a plan.
The darker color of those wheels will look nice on your color.

Cool! i trust your opinion because your G is in my top 3 favorite G's. Is there any danger in going with off brand rims? I was originally considering TSW Nurburgring wheels but being a college student that was a little to pricey for just wheels.

^My G shouldn't be in anyone's top 3... Papa Chris's is so much nicer!

IDK about off-brand.
Mine are Privat, which isn't exactly a really really well known brand, but they're made by König.

duh!
Actually, 4300-500K is closest to natural sunlight and has nothing to do with the actual bulb temperatures when running. All hid bulbs regardless of kelvin, run around the same temps which as stated earlier, are cooler than halogen operating temps........

Those wheels won't fit your car, the center bore is cut for a lexus. It's 6mm to small.

You'll need to bore out the centers. Your $700 wheels just turned into $900 wheels.

Wow. You're right. Well done Blain.
I'm used to aftermarket wheels having a larger center bore.

Not necessarily. Can always get adapters with proper bore
