i'd rather stick with the stock 18's than aftermarket 18's. all of those would look even smaller than 18" because of the lip. if u get a rim with a lip u def need to go larger

 

Of your selection, #1 or none. The others just don't have enough refinement.

 

You rock and that is perfect.

 

I really don't like the stock 18's and I refuse to go larger. Larger wheels weigh more and the tires are much more expensive. I appreciate the input and I'll take that into account when I'm looking. This just makes it even more important to get a photoshop so I can get a clear look.

 

Ummm....you realize the wheels on the Kenstyle G are nowhere near 18 inches, right...?

To get that look you need atleast 19's or 20's.

 

Which S class benz wheels did you like? Current body style? AMG style? Can you post a pic?

 

Yes, I do. I was referring to his photoshop job.

I won't buy any until I can either get a picture of another g in my color in person with the stock 18's to use for photoshop or my car arrives and I can get pictures of it. These pictures will just give me an idea to go from. Besides it's gonna take me forever to save up for the ones I want.

 

These are the ones I would *really* like to have.

This is a decently priced 5 spoker, clean and not too expensive, only available in 18":

I thought these were kind of neat: http://phoenix.backpage.com/automoti...e=auto%20parts

 

Those aren't too bad. I'm so picky though. I don't like the usual 5 spoke wheels. The only ones that seem to grab me are the dual 5 spokes. I told Trey yesterday that this whole process is too stressful. LOL Now I know why people will pay large amounts of money for wheels instead of trying to find less expensive alternatives. All the worry with offsets and which tires fit and which won't - I just want to scream!

 

It's ok, you're not the only one with that problem, you probably won't find anyone as picky as I am

It's extremely difficult to choose rims, just because they look good on the shelf doesn't mean they look good on the car. I prefer to grab on and roll it over to the car.

What about the TSW Catalunya?, it's not a split 5, but a split 6. It's a very clean look.



My friend has them on his Infiniti:



Some Yokohama split 5 spoke wheels

I think for the most part, Yoko wheels are cast (unless specified) so they won't be too bad in terms of pricing.

Currently I'm going through the same thing you and your hubby are. I can't decide either!. I am leaning towards a mesh type wheel, I think it suits the car better, but each time I see a nice clean 5 spoke wheel, I get funny all over

 

Treyswife: Just FYI...I was on the Tirerack website today, and they have Lakeshore Slate for the 07 G35S as a selectable color: http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_gara...=Sport+Package

Maybe this will help....

 

SSR GT3's FTW.

 

The split 6 are ok. I have a few that I could live with if I went with those. I like the look on your friends car. I can now thank you for having fallen in LOVE with those Yokohama AVS Model 5's. OMG those are awesome -- No lip, No rivets, and split 5 spoke EXACTLY what I want! Called and got a price on them and they aren't too bad. Less than $550 a piece.

 

I'll check it out and see. They aren't really that close in color so I'll have to take a look at it. Thanks for the heads up.
