G35 Coupe "Sport Package"
CE28N Time Attack Edition would have looked much cleaner IMO.

no, i could never justify buying $3500 wheels for daily driving, unless money was absolutly no object. There are plenty of wheels that look just as good if not better than alot of volk/works/rays/etc

okay, then what is your justification for buying a $40K+ DD? Scion TC will get the job done @ half the cost. maybe you wanted something better and were willing to save for it?

wheels are not just about looking good. you also have to factor quality of construction, weight, durability, manufacturer reputation, etc. I am not knocking SportMax rims or the OP's choice. I would have gone another route and saved for better if I could not afford it @ first.

there are plenty of high quality rims out there that do not cost as much as Volk, Work, SSR, etc. in fact I own a set of G-Games 99B which are very inexpensive and made by Rays.

I dont have a justification for buying a $40k+ DD, i never new they sold that high, except the brand new one that are out NOW lol, and your assuming i bought my car New, well i didn't, just like i'd NEVER buy a new car, its prob one of the most pointless things to do IMO, the amount of money you lose just driving it off the lot is ridiculous. We have a whole thread talking about "replicas" or k"knock-offs" vs. "real" wheels so i really dont want to get into if again, but MOST wheels constructed today are pretty strong, and id rather crack or bend a cheaper wheel than bend a wheel that costs $800 per wheel. I would still choose the wheels i have over a set of volk/rays etc., and its a DD so weight is not really that big of a deal.

Since 1976, our factory facilities have specialized in the design and manufacture or aluminum alloy wheels for original equipment and after-market automotive applications. Currently we have two factory faculties that produce in excess of 2.4 million wheels each year. Approximately 60 percent of the wheels products are shipped to Japan, 20 percent to the United States, and the remaining 20 percent are distributed throughout the world.

In our production, quality is the main objective. For quality assurance, all our wheels are certified by the international standard on accreditation of ISO 9002 and QS 9000. The factory also obtained the qualification of Japanese VIA Standard on quality testing which guarantees that every wheel meets their vigorous testing standards. When you purchase our wheels, rest assured that you will be getting one of the best on the market.

okay, okay, I can't take it anymore. was trying to be nice about the OP's wheel selection and offered my opinion by mentioning something that I thought would look better and not criticizing or hurting their feelings. provided and option rather than just slam them.

don't care if those wheels were from Volk, Work or SSR, I don't like them at all. they look cheap and make his car look cheap. happy now? next time I will just get right to the point and move on. don't need a lecture on the quality of inexpensive wheels. sorry to ruffle your feathers. as I said before, I have G-Games 99B by Rays which are really cheap @ Discount Tire and are great quality.

all for inexpensive wheels as I think most are overpriced to begin with and I like to swap wheels often. but inexpensive or expensive those do not look good at all IMO.
