I think he just doesn't like those 20's. Can't blame him.

In general I have nothing against 20's...just not a big fan of chrome ones.

I still think 19 is the ideal size for these cars though.

Yeah, I just don't like the 20s for two reason
1) I'll be forced to use low-profile tires and I've been down that road before.... the bumps are not fun (pun intended)
2) I can't be rolling into my office with so much chrome haha

Some chrome is definitely nice.
But yeah I mostly wanted confirmation that 18" rays still exist for the sedan. Now it's just a matter of finding ones in good condition! I still have some time until winter's over... might just have to go with some aftermarket 18"s if I don't find any.

If you want OEM 18's, you should also look at the 7-spoke Coupe wheels that G35SedanGrn has in those pics. They're wider, have better offsets and, in my opinion, look better on these cars. Just an idea.

$300 is just the going rate in my area.
19s look so much better than 18s IMO and you dont have to run rubber band tires on the wheels to make them fit.
19" g35 coupe rays


and then the 19" coupe rays, powder coated.

Yeah, I'll be staying away from the 17s.
It's just a matter of finding the 18s that look like the rays or something else that catches my eye. I still have a few months before I gotta change from my winters.
What's the optimal tire size? I don't wanna go low pro. 225/45? 235/40?
