Anyone with AME Tracer FS01 wheels?

I've been debating aftermarket wheel setups since I got the car, and I finally found one that I really like:









I'm looking at a set in 19x8.5, +40 all the way around in Hyper Silver (pictured above). They are similar in style to the stock rims, which I like and would probably keep if they were bigger than 17" and didn't make the tires look enormous.

Now I just need to decide on a set of 245/40/19 tires and whether I want to do a summer setup here and a winter setup on the stock rims.

So, does anyone have these already and have any pictures on an '07 G35?

From the look on those pictures and compared to other wheels with no lips, those wheels are the hottest thing i've seen, IMHO.

Rough idea, photoshopped onto another G35 with 19x8.5 wheels. Sorry for borrowing someone's pic...

They Only Come In 18''

These Wheels In 20'' Would Be So Hot

Not certain how these would look on a sedan. They look dead perfect on a Z. I doubt they'll look as hot on the 07 Sedan.

Concaved rims would look great on a G35 sedan but they have to be at least 19"

They come in a variety of sizes and offsets from 17"-19":

As I said, the set I'm looking at is 19x8.5, +40 offset.

I'm very close to buying these rims for my G35. I like the concave no lip look. Plus, I think the dark grey would match well with my black G.

I'd recommend 19x8.5 +30 all around for a flusher look. I'm going with that size in the front and 19x9.5 +40 in the rear.

Someone certainly feel free to disagree with me if they've already done it, but I would think +40 is a pretty flush fit. Moving up an inch in wheel width and down 5mm in offset is giving me 7/10 of an inch more wheel sticking out, and +30 would add another 4/10 of an inch on top of that. Looking at the stock setup, I don't think there's over an inch of space between the wheel face and the fender line.

They look amazing on a white car, that's how I first saw them. Can I ask who quoted you 1850? That's not a bad price considering Vivid Racing has them listed at $549/wheel.

PM me your source also please as I got quoted close to $2K for the 19s.

As for the front offset, I'm going with the +30 because all of the +34 to +40 8.5" rims I've seen up front are sunken into the fender a fair amt. Here's a 20x8.5 +40 for reference:


See what I mean about the front being too far inwards? Going with a +30 offset will just move the rim out 1 cm or less than 1/2" more.

Here's Hikos' fantastic G. He's running 20x8.5 +35 up front - still not quite totally flush up front:
