Pic request: 19" Rays on 2007-08 G sedan

Hey guys. I have been going though the search function trying to find some pics of a 2nd gen sedan rocking the 19" coupe OEM Rays. But I haven't been very successful.

I was only able to find a couple sedans however they had a different paint color so I am hoping someone has them on their platinum graphite sedan or at least know some locations where I can find pictures.

My buddy thinks they would look like crap on my car but I beg to differ and hope someone can help me out =)

Thanks!

Tell him to eat his heart out.

I had a set lying around from my old G, and they still had new rubber on them, so I decided to toss them on for the summer.







Dropped on HSD HR+ coilovers.

Thanks for those pics man! =) I def like the look. Nice, clean and not too aggressive. Did you stretch the tires on the front? They look a bit different from the rear tires.

Ohh my bad. haha. Thanks for the info. I am curious, if I want to be able to rotate my tires, would I be able to just get 4 wheels at 19x8 instead of having to get the staggered set?

You'd have to find someone willing to trade backs for fronts. The offsets are practically identical.

Which if you do get yourself a staggered set, a good friend of mine would be willing to do that, shoot me a pm if you do.

Thanks for clearing that up =)

And there are several sets of OEM wheels that I am interested in but they are all staggered setups. Like the IPL wheels, 07-08 sport sedan wheels, Nismo A34's, and these Rays you just showed me. So I am still in the infancy phase of finding the perfect wheels. I was just making sure it'd be possible to run them the same width on all 4's. Maybe some spacers in the back but the tire size has to be the same for me.

Find someone selling a set of 2010+ 19" coupe awd sport wheels off a G37xS, they run the 19" enkei sport wheels in a non-staggered 19x8.5, thats about the only good looking non-staggered oem wheel that comes to mind.

Meh, those look alright. But I'd keep my current stocks over those Thanks for looking into it though.

I guess if it comes down to it, I'll just have to suck it up and go with a staggered set since I am intent on keeping an "OEM-look" for my car but definitely want some sportier looking wheels.

Although I have found some wheel shops that sell the wheels singularly like the one linked below. But I hear mixed reviews about their service and it would cost a lot more to get a set of 4 from them rather then buy a used set on the forums. Definitely damn good prices on them though.

More of a fan of the Rays 19s on first gen sedans rather than the second gens. I think the G37 wheels suit the car a lot better.

OT: whats the weight comparison between '08 18" sports rims with either the 19" rays or G37 19" rims?
