17" or 18"?
Hey guys,
Picked up a '05 g35x a month ago. Came with 20" chromes and steelies for the winter. 20" is too big for me, so I've been looking around for 18" (even if I can get my hands on the originals I'd be happy).
Just came across 17" original G35 rims (one of the nicer versions) at an absolute STEAL of a price. $50/rim! Going to go fast, just wondering if I should go with it or continue a search for some 18"! Not sure how big of a difference it would make in terms of looks.
Looking for some members to post pictures of their cars before and after with similar sizing so I can get an idea! (Because the visualizer programs on rim websites suck for that lol).
Thanks guys!

@cameronb: you buy them private or know a guy?
I would love some 18" rays... just having trouble finding them!
I figure there's no point in downsizing just an inch to 19"... might as well keep the 20s then.
Does anyone have pictures of their cars (or someones) that had 17" and then moved to 18 or higher? Just curious to see how small the 17s actually look! Their seem to be alot being sold in my area '-_-

Hmmm
@G35SedanGRN
Thanks for posting the pictures, very helpful! The different between 17" and 18" does seem pretty big! Guess I'll continue my diligent search for well priced 18".
I've attached a picture with my G on 20s.
I really like the G rims below... were they made in 18" with an offset for the sedan?

The ones you posted are Coupe Rays 19" wheels, they are a staggered (F: 19x8+30, R:19x8.5+33) and they sit almost perfect on the sedan. They are a bit sunk IMO, but nothing a drop, spacers and camber can't fix. Plenty of members run those wheels, including myself.
Heres a thread dedicated to those wheels.

Here's my car on stock 17's
Here it is on the Coupe 19's

Definitely go with at least 18's. I went from stock 17's to Coupe 18's and it made a world of difference. I have some pictures, but will have to upload them once I get home.
Just like pontiacstogo, I love the Ray's 19's, but wanted to go with the same width and offset all around for my X. Tires are also a lot cheaper for 18's.
