I called the cops as soon as I saw the theft and filed a report. And Gary I'm looking at all forums that have our same bolt pattern and found a couple of search engines that check every Craigslist post in the US. I hit that up twice a day for the Gravis1s.

Nick I haven't because the wheels have been discontinued for several years. I had a chance to visit the US headquarters of 5Zigen in 2011 when I was in LA for the 3rd Sedan GTG meet. It was cool but they didn't have any Gravis1s then either.

I think those wheels were a perfect look for the G35! They should bring them back
I remember putting 5Zigen wheels on my G35 in Need For Speed lol

Still no word on the stolen rims, looks like they're gone. replaced my rear tires with new Michelins and wanted to put them up front as well. But, the 245/45s were too tall and they didn't offer the Super Sports in 235/45 so I went with the Bridgestone RE760As and wow is all I can say. Both sets are the shizz and my car rides smoother and quieter than it ever has until I push it since I've owned it. Definitely a big difference in ride quality going from 19s to 18s. Here's why the 245s wouldn't work lol.

Good point Faiz. I never had 245/45 on the fronts though, when I bought the wheels they had 9 year old 225/45s up there. I really like my ride height so 245 isn't an option because they wouldn't even clear the fenders with the wheels turned. They're fine on the rears of course and I am impressed at the performance of my current set up. Having good quality tires is also a huge plus, these are probably the best tires I've ever owned.

I found a set for you
Not sure what specs you ran before and I know these arent shiny but they can always be refinished

Thanks Sam, I've already talked to this guy but they are 5x120 for a Mercedes so they won't fit on a G. There's also a set in Philadelphia that's in rough shape and the guy wants a ridiculous amount for them so I told him no. I'm still looking every day.
I had those locks, they come off so easily with the black adaptor they sell with the lugnuts at the autopart stores.. Just giving u a heads up..
I bet a bigger tire would fill the wheel well in a bit more.
Mustangs OEM tires have slightly short sidewalls than G35's so just swapping the wheels over would give that "rubber band" look.
I'm really curious to see how they look with a more proper tire size and lowered to eliminate the wheel gap.
