They are a cast wheel so I am probably going to get some grief. The brand is 1.VT but I don't remember the model. Specs are 19x9.5 +33.

They are also a little concave which I like.

Rays.

I would've gotten the Rays, but I wanted a square setup. I would have had to buy two sets then hope that someone would buy the remaining square setup or two buyers for each of the two pairs. Too much hassle and trouble.

I like the split spoke design like the Rays or if we're getting into the higher end of the price range like the Work Emotion CR Kai, Weds SA55R, etc., but I also wasn't looking to spend a ton of money. My next best bet was to get some factory wheels and I just went with the Sport 18s. I still have to get them refinished/powdercoated/something because the chrome is pretty ugly.

You can go the knock off version route, but I'd just stick to factory if that were the case. Just my opinion though. The 19" M wheels look pretty nice too. The 350Z Track Edition V1 wheels are really clean too if you can find those.

Which is better in terms of style?

theres a lot of examples online of vmr wheels cracking. but cast wheels are more prone to that so it is to be expected.
Sorry a little late to the party, but just wanted to chime in with a bit of feedback that is good to consider when looking for wheels (or other aftermarket parts, for that matter). Quite a few brands thrown around in this thread, some better known than others, but I think we can agree that one of the most important factors to consider are the standards to which the wheels are tested and whether the company shows the longevity and ability to stand behind their product. Japanese powerhouse manufacturers such as Rays are great, and we will be the first to say this/agree

However, just be aware what you're purchasing when looking at some lesser known brands (this goes for product beyond just wheels - coilovers, exhaust, aero, etc.). Things like JWL/VIA are widely recognized and if you want to take things a notch further, TUV is often considered one of the highest marks when it comes to wheel certifications & strength tests. At the end of the day, the main thing is not only to be happy with the style of wheels you choose, but to be confident in the safety of the product as well. To view our current TUV certifications, please check out our European dealer's site here -> http://vmrwheels.eu/certificates.html Over the past couple years we've also taken on the goal of improving the performance of our brand. At this point, we've expanded our line to include various light weight flow-formed options that are comparable some of the other, much higher priced, flow formed/flow forged/rotary forged/etc. wheels out there and have no plans on slowing down future development. We're always all ears so if anyone has feedback for us, please reach out!

Lastly, I know it's a V36 so please don't hang me, but a couple shots of our V710 on a G Sedan




Best of luck on the wheel hunt, OP! Please don't hesitate to send an email over to tracy@velocitymotoring.com if you're still in the market and interested what sort of deals we're currently running for g35driver forum users.
