Which wheels?

So I'm stuck between 2 different sets of wheels. The pics are poorly photoshopped but you get the point. I will be getting the 350z springs and shocks for the front and coupe springs and shocks in the back. Should I go for the 19 in vmr wheels (or something identical in styling) or 19 in coupe rays? Which is better in terms of style?

the coupe rays
MUCH higher quality.

theres a lot of examples online of vmr wheels cracking. but cast wheels are more prone to that so it is to be expected.

Thank you. But I mean in terms of styling. I may not actually get vmr's but a style that is very similar. Similar to the bmw 1m wheels.

HRE P40s has a similar style to those VMRs and top quality.
Work Kiwami is similar to the OEM Rays.

one would have to imagine if he is deciding between VMR and stock wheels, that HRE's arent quite in the budget................

First pic is the style I was looking at for my sedan too. I'm currently looking at the Forgestar F14.

Bold assumption

Thank you everyone. The assumption is correct. My budget is small. All the wheels you guys recommended aren't my style and they're not identical to the vmr wheels which is what I'm really looking for. Tough decision. Well see what I decide. Most likely I'll go with some used rays because they'll be less expensive anyway.

I used to run the Rays 19's and while they are great wheel I quickly found myself wanting something that looked a little farther from stock since my car came with the sport 18s in the same style. My current wheels look a lot like the first pic posted. I really like the look much better since it sets the car farther apart from others out there.

Exactly! Do you have any pics? What wheels are you running? I also love the 370z wheels and nismos too but those are gonna be a pretty penny.

I love the 370z and nismo wheels too but I think they look out of place on the sedan IMHO.
