thoughts on these wheels....

I purchased a set of OEM 19x8 Rays wheels for my 08 sedan. I am contemplating whether or not those are the right wheels for the car. I keep coming back to the Axis Se7en Mod wheels. What is everyone's thoughts on the matter? I WILL NOT BE LOWERING THE CAR.

Thanks


ps, out of pure impulse, i just purchased the stillen rear trunk lip.

These are the right hweels for the car. Especially compared to those crap Axis

On one side you have FORGED Rays wheels where Nissan designers and engineers who are payed millions a year made this specifically for Infiniti

On the other side you have some poor chinese kid making these crap wheels just good enough to hold together so that he could live for just one more day.

It's a no-brainer.

Wow, kinda harsh on the Axis wheels. A lot of guys here are rolling around on them. But whatever. Anyways, the rays look good on your sedan (I think it's your sedan in the first pic right?).

Eh, I don't see the ones you're considering to flow all that well. I'd stick with what you got. The newer G coupe wheels might look good.

no that pic is of another member's g35.

I am still rolling on my stock 18s. I am not a fan of the g37 coupe wheels. Maybe I will just stick with the Rays.

and yes, i have 19x8 all the way around.

Nice,
Oh hey you're in St louis, that's where I live, in college now. I like the rays they are light and forged, but they don't look as big as they should hahaha. I still think you should do rays!

my thoughts exactly. they also have a 2.5in lip.

what area in STL are you in? Yes, the Rays seem smaller than other 19s. The Rays are not installed yet on my car. I am waiting for spring.

just curious, the axis comes in a +35 and a +45 offset. Which would look better?

yeah, the lips are so necessary on this car...i'm not in STL, i'm in ATL

if i were to get the axis wheels, i would probably get them in +35 rather than +45
