My friend just got G37 wheels with tires in great condition for $1100 and they are untouched. They look super clean.

I think Robby's refering to my wheels. I picked them up almost two weeks ago for $1100 without the TPMS. Tires still got 60-70% tread left on them.
I love them and complete the look of the sedan really well!

Good looking out Robby. Robby has one of the cleanest rides, literally!
Actually I was worried about the same porblems (loss of power/harsh ride). I will admit the ride is obviously noiser and rough compared to 17" wheels, but thats expected. Overall I am definately pleased with the performance especially when it comes to handling and the looks are great! The noise and ride quality can also be attributed to the Bridgestone RE050A tires, their not great at all in the wear/noise category.

IMO $1600 - $1700 is a little steep for a set of G37S wheels. I typically see them going for $1000 - $1200 a set with tires. Of course, if the wheels are in mint condition and that includes the TPMS's and decent tires then if they're willing to take $1500 it is not completely unreasonable.

Tire noise and ride harshness is not from a bigger rim. It is from the tires.
My friend has 20's on his G wrapped with ps2s and that thing rides like my car. It's all on the tires.

JMO.... but I'm not a fan of dark powdercoated or painted wheels... I think they look the best in the stock color.

You know, I actually like to the look of the OEM finish on the wheels on my LP sedan, its very clean. But since Im considering getting the midnight grille, I wanted to get the wheels painted to match the midnight color on the grill.

They were on eBay and ended up going for about 1550 + 200 shipping.
I wouldn't have paid that much, but the auction ended while I was downtown for Fat Tuesday last night so I didn't get caught up in any last minute bidding.

I'll keep lookin around
