New wheels for my G35 sedan

Hi, what do you guys think about these rims, I am seriously thinking about buying them, they are 17 inch and cost 370.00 for all four but most likely I will go with 19's this style for 475.00, I think its a good deal. Let me know what you think, thanks

I was thinking the same thing, 17s are small but I can use the tires off the stock wheels and save some money. I think I might go 19 if I don't get these. I am on stock suspension.

The price is nice but if you're wanting a rim upgrade I'd get 19 or 20s, the lower profile tires w/ their stiffer sidewalls will really maximize what our Gs can do. I had 17s and went to 20s and the difference is night & day, the car felt floaty & disconnected w/ the 17s and the crap RSA tires, now it hugs the road like glue. The ride is a bit rougher but it's SOOO worth it.
I'd just sell the stock tires & wheels for a down payment on something that your G will benefit from for sure

yeah, I think I'm gonna go 19's, I can get the same wheels in 19 for 475.00, I'll just have to find a deal on tires. What do you think about the look of the wheels? thanks

I'm partial to 5 spokers, I think they'd look decent on a some of the G colors like Slate Blue and Gray. They'd look quite a bit bolder in the 19 size for sure. I also prefer a little bit of lip on the rim too, but that's just my preference.
What color is your G? Actaully just went to your garage and saw that yours is Black, took another look at those wheels and kinda like them, might look pretty classy on a black sedan in 19 size.

My car is blue slate, I prefer a lip on the rim as well. I'm still not set yet on the rims I'm going to go with.

I think those would look sweet with 19's. Like rims with sharp-edged spokes.

First off, those are too BMW M3 replica for my liking, looks kinda "poser" for lack of better words. There are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better options than those.

And 17's? really? come on

You're lucky you're located in circa SoCal.... just save up a little more money and get some G37 coupe 19's locally. They'd look 375% better than those cheap 17's

not a fan. get some coupe wheels instead, they're just as cheap, 18", and look way better.
