What do you think about these wheels?
I'm with you on having clean looks (after all, i, too, have the A34s because it's simple and functional in the sense that it's pretty light).
However, i am not a fan of the tuning fork design (i.e. mesh/web), one of the main reasons i got rid of the OEM.

I too love my Nismo's. Even if I pick these up, most likely I will keep my Nismo's as a spare set of wheels. However, I like the fact that the spokes on these Proline wheels reach all the way to the outer lip of the wheels which makes them look bigger than they are. Also I like the black accents on the British Black version (similar to hyperblack). Still on the fence about em though.. I will keep you guys posted on what I decide on
Gotta agree with you on that, the "lip" on these wheels is the only thing i'm not keen on, it does make it look smaller. I initially were going for the Nismo Altima wheels (18" 5-spoke, similar to the 57F's), had them on my previous car, but they looked as much as they weigh -- 17's).
If you're happy with this new set, go for it! Light, looks big and is strong, can't go wrong with that

I like those new Ray wheels, they are a sweet looking wheel. Your Nismos look very good also. I have always liked that style of wheel.
My 20/8.5 Hyper Black Enkei GTC 01 wheels are a bit similar to that style, they weigh 23 lbs.

UPDATE: I ended up picking these up. Here are my new wheels for the summer! They should get to me in about a week. Hopefully I can find the time to mount some tires and install these asap. I will definitely post pics once I get these mounted.

I think they are awesome but I am also one who does not like flashy, complicated, tacky looking wheels. These are clean, classy and subtle but they still look like the mean business. They are similar to the 19" OEM Rays which I love, but they are still much better looking than the 19" OEM Rays. Great choice. I'd never seen them before but they might be my favorite looking wheel.

^ I totally agree with you.
IMO they look clean but at the same time, offer a subtly aggressive, sporty look to them.
We will see how they look once they are mounted. BTW the color is pretty much same as Volks titanium gunmetal. Can't go wrong with the quality of RAYS wheels.
