Finally got my Coupe wheels put on so I figured I could post some pics.

 

Dropped on Z springs (fronts are not quite settled), painted Z track wheels.

 

painted sills will make those wheels stand out more

 

^^ I think he has some plans along those lines.

 

Ah I was hoping to see some coupe rays 19"s when I read the title. The coupe 18"s look too plain for my taste but that's just my humble opinion

 

Weren't the 18's an option for the sedan?

 

the rays lookalikes

 

Welcome to the coupe 18s club.

 

i like the coupe better with those 18s and the sedan better with the rays 19s for some reason

 

Pardon for my ignorance I'd thought the sedans came with the 7-spoke 17's (with coupe-style Rays 18's as an option), and I'd thought the coupes came with the Rays 19's stock. Didn't know the 18" option for the sedans were the same 7-spoke style as the 17's

 

thats true, so no ignorance to pardon

the 18s on OKStateG35's car were optional on 03-04 coupes(the ones with brembos i guess? idk, i dont feel like looking into it right now)

 

Got it, thanks for the clarification!

I believe that's correct.

I also like the Ray's 19's on sedans, but I went with the 18's for a few reasons.

Cost - While I know some people on here have picked up a set of Rays at a steal, there are very few used sets within driving distance of where I live. They would have cost significantly more and the tires are twice as expensive. I actually had to piece together the set I have so it ended up costing me more than it would for somebody living on the coasts or in a big city.

Style - The 10-spoke Rays are pretty sweet looking, but I actually prefer a 7-spoke design on this car. It would be ideal if they made a 19" forged 7-spoke.

Specs - I have an X so I wanted to get the same size wheels front and back. I also liked how they fit flush with the sides and I could run a stock size 235/45 all around and still be able to use my full-size 17" spare if needed.

 

^ how about some g37 19"s? Rims make the car imo so I don't think people that don't own g35's would even notice you changed em. I got the rays but even the rays got boring but the gloss black paintjob I got on em solved that, now they look sick. I think if you go with a black theme like G Sedan and powdercoated them black and put spacers they would look veryy nice

 

I like the G37 19's, but again they are overpriced for what you get and I'm not willing to drop $1K on tires.

I'm not concerned with whether or not other people notice. If you've read any of my comments on this message board you'll probably notice that I'm all about the subtle mods. Nobody notices my JDM taillights, most probably think my 35% tint is too light, and I'm sure a majority on here think installing Coupe springs in the front and Sedan sports in the rear was a complete waste of time. The Coupe 18's are something most wouldn't notice, but I love the way they changed the look of my car.
