quick poll...which wheel

I am honestly torn now on which wheel i should sport...the OEM G37 19s or the OEM Rays 19s. I will not be lowering the car, so let me hear some opinions.

i've never been a fan of bi-spoked wheels so i think the OEM Ray's 19's are ugly looking.
conversely the G37 coupe 19's fit the look (and literally) our sedans perfectly and obviously i am quite biased towards the G37 wheels
in terms of weight, i (please correct me if i am wrong) think the OEM Rays are lighter so if you are looking for gas savings, lighter is better

other than looks, the Rays are forged & definitely a better quality lighter choice.
I do agree that the G37 19s look better though.

I see you are running the G37 wheels. Any pics? Are you staggered? I dont care about overall weight. These will be on my X and be driven March - October.

I wonder if the Maxima rims would look good on our G's?

take a look in my garage, there are pic's of my G within. as for staggering...oh boy not this again (i'll address it later).
first and foremost make sure that ALL 4 of your tires are the same size. im am running 245/40's in all 4 corners. if you have tires of different sizes, you will risk burning out your center of differential.
as for staggering, yes i am...people say it's bad (including the manual) but i dont see a problem with it (again, as long as your rolling diameters are the same you will be okay). i ran this set up last year for 7 months with no problems.
im sure people will debate this to death, but ultimately, it is your choice whether you want to stagger your X or not. after all, it's your car.
my G is my car so I chose to stagger. if there are problems later on, then i have to pony up the money and fix it. if not, then all the better.
sorry for the long winded answer

The oem rays look smaller than they are due to the spoke design and how it intersects the rim lip. Unless the car is lowered (and a lot), it doesn't look good imo.

in short, get either 4 of the 19x8.5 fronts or 4 of the 19x9 rears if you want peace of mind. G37 19's FTW!

either will look good. the OEM rays look sportier while the G37OEm 19s look more luxurious with a bit of sport. I would go for the G37 OEM 19s on a your sedan.
