when i went to the dealer this weekend to look at the G's the wheels on the sport pkg looked like these but not as good....i am also looking at the G literature right now that i picked up and the pics dont look as good as these do...the ones i saw and that are in the literature look more bony (if you will), not as thick of spokes and not as nice as these in the pics posted below

thanks gq916--i used your pics from your gallery--car looks great!

I thought so. The 19" coupe wheels are a little chunkier looking. I personally like 'em better too.

I stare at both the 18" and 19" daily, and honestly I can't tell that much of a difference. The 19"s has sharper edges and a slightly different finish, otherwise they look identical. If you have the stock 05 18" I don't think it's worth the money to get the coupe 19".

btw - did you know the sedan 18" has wider front tires than the 19" coupe?

i think the bars on the 19'' are "stronger" then the 18''. by that i dontg mean they can bench more weight, but that they are a little more bold, standoutish...the 18's look a little frail to me in that aspect....and for some reason i think the 19'' look a whoooooooole lot better. however, they will cost of course.

these are the factory wheel that i wanted swapped from the coupe to the potential sedan...i wanted these put on. are these just on the 04 models?

I don't think so, the 2005 18" sedan rims have Nissan insignia in the back. They are traditional cast wheels but they don't seem to be too heavy. IMHO the 18" coupe wheels look very good on G35 sedans, especially the 05+. Frankly out of the whole lineup right now I think the stock 18" coupe rims are the best looking one. I only got the 19" because they are forged 19" Rays rims at a very reasonable price.

Minarets, Question...where can I get the rims that you have on your ride. Are those in fact factory rims. If so, where did you get them because I would like to as well. If not, then what are they and where can I get them (brand, size, etc...) hahha... thank you very much
