Alright, i need to order some new wheels before the end of next week so i can have them for the First SoCal G's meet. I was going to get the ADR M-Sports but they're discontinued so help me decide between these three. I like all the wheels a lot, i'm kind of shying away from the axis because they're $400 more than the other two but i know Axis are better quality. I really like the multi spoke of the Nad-1's and the ST-7 is the same design as the ADR M-Sport i originally wanted.

1. NAD-1(black chrome) 2. Stern ST-7 (chrome)


3. Axis Penta (Hyper Dark)


Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Axis Penta.

 

Axis one looks nice...
What size and offsets are you going for?

 

19x8.5 all around with a 35mm offset and 245/40/19 S0-3's

Keep the suggestions coming.

I'd definitely get the Axis if I were you...you pay more but it's worth it, you don't want to deal with bent rims, it's a pain in the @SS!!! Plus I see your G is IP with black overlays, so a darker colored wheel will compliment your ride very nicely.

Why not go staggered with a 9.5 in the back?

 

UGH 2 and 3 have been done a million times. Go for the NAD-1 I have seen them on a 530i here and I am tempted to purchase a staggard pair before the end of the year.

 

It's a long story but here goes,
I work for Bridgestone so i get S03's 50% off, they only last about 18,000 miles if you rotate them and keep good alignment so if i get staggered i cant rotate them and i dont want to buy new rear tires every 12,000 miles. I could go with a 245/35/19 and get the RE750's for 35% off (they would last for more than 25,000 miles) but i want as much sidewall as i can as i only plan on dropping the car with tokico d-specs and tein h-tech springs (mild drop) therefore i need to have the same size on all four corners to be able to rotate them. I dont think i'll have a problem with bent rims because i'm getting the 40 series sidewall and the streets here in SD arent as harsh as some other places around the country.

Damn Perry you just got your new wheels and you already want to get new ones within the year?? Ballin

I've never seen the Axis Penta's on a G but they replaced the supermesh and a few people have those so i know what your saying, plus everyone has mesh wheels. I really like the NAD-1's too i just need some more suggestions before i make my choice.

Well I live in Hawaii... No really I want to stagger the wheels and the NAD-1 can be had for a reasonable price staggard. I will most likely purchase them for less than 2K for wheels and tires if they show up on eBay

 

+1 for sure.

 

Well since you said you haven't seen Pentas on a G here are a few shots of mine. Hopefully this will help in your decision making. Enjoy.

 

ITmenace what size and offset do you have?

 

Penta's are nice, but they seem to look too similar to other wheels that are all too common. My vote goes to the Nad-1 because they are clean, and unique. That seems to match your modding style too- you've been a pioneer for a few mods on the '05's and I'm sure the black chrome wheels would perfectly compliment everything you've done.

The only reason I am selling my HP Evo's is because everybody and their mother has them now. I want my wheels to be unique, aggressive, and most important, classy. I thought that Work VS-XX in gold would do that, but something about the gold didn't flow right with me so I cancelled my order.

Here's a sneak peak of my new wheels- something you may never see again. The only set of JDM made BBS in G35 sedan fitment in the US.

 

We'll Boris you just hit the nail right on the head, that's what i'm looking for is to be unique, I dont like seeing all the other people on this forum getting the played out rims like HP Evo's or Volks (Not bagging on you because your sedan is the cleanest one on this site IMO) I want to make the right choice in wheels and make sure its something not too many people are going to have and i dont think the penta's fit my unique set-up. I really like the penta's because mesh wheels look really good on our cars but i think the mesh is getting to played out. But i think those BBS are pretty sick, and you know no one else is going to have em.

When are you going to put up some pics of your car with the new drop and the front lip and rear lip??? I cant wait to see that, those blurry pics off your phone sucked.

What size are those? they look a little small to be 19's
I think i'm veering away from the mesh wheels now because everyone else has em... well see though, still a couple days to decide.
