Those wheels look sharp and not Blingy. It looks like your car could have come from the factory that way

Other than the little dimples in the spokes, I like those wheels. Hey, they’re Rays, right? Not bad, at all. Congratulations. One of these days, I’ll get some new wheels. -sigh-

Wow. I like them, especially on the black G. Do you guys think I'd have any fender rubbing issues with these rims since I'm on the coupe springs (.5" drop)?

It looks like the original thread poster also lowered his car with the Z springs.

He states that his camber is set to -1.3 to accomodate the wheels...

When I mounted the Z track wheels I had coupe springs and it was too tall for my taste. Fender gap was still huge and the rear wheels stuck out too much b/c of the offset (+33). After the drop, the wheels tucked in a little more and after going to align my car to -1.3 rear camber, the rear wheels are now flush with the fender.

So my suggestion is to go with a set of 2004.5 shocks/springs (make sure you check the part#s). The ride is a bit harsher, but it now the car feels like it is riding on rails. Its actually scary now how the car loves to turn no matter how fast you're going.

What's "huge" in your book? I was completely fine with the 2 finger gap in the rear with the stock Sport springs My last car was a 96 Maxima and it had 1.5" H&R drop and the gaps were still significantly bigger that my G's with coupe springs

I really don't want to take the car any lower because I don't want to be eating tires or having to buy $400 A-arms just to correct the camber problems.

got the same wheels recently, but running 245/45s all around.......looks are subjective, I like the sleeper look....i had the coupe 18s and imo, looked pretty cool......however, a bonus with track wheels are that they are 18.1lbs front and 18.6lbs rear......can you say UNSPRUNG weight?! the coupe 18s were 25lbs.........i can feel car the accel/decel much quicker......to answer that question...it's by Rays engineering...the ones that makes Volks......if i've known the weight of rims earlier, i would've gotten them first over the headers, y-pipe or crank pulley.....peace.

Not only is it a reduction in unsprung weight, it's a reduction in rotational weight. You get a better ride, better braking, better steering response, and better acceleration. It's a win win situation from every angle.
