I don't want any bling bling and/or spinners.
rims with nice lips for front and rear.
Rims that will clear my new Endless brakes without any spacers(it barely clears my TE37 right now)

any ideas?
one word....PIAA's...are you bringing your monster to G day or what?

I have some questions: Since your car is lowered, are you experiencing rubbing issues? Wheel full lock left and full lock right (as in U-turns)? What size tires are those rims sitting on? Did you have to roll your fenders? Thanks!

P.S. I was thinking of getting Endless brakes also...how much of a problem are you running into with clearance?
when I had the 275/30/19 tires on the rear, it did not rub at all but when I changed the rear tires to 275/35/19, when I turn hard, I can hear little rubbing. I did not roll the fenders at all. for the front, there is no problem of rubbing no matter what I do. right now, fronts are 245/35/19 and for the rear 275/35/19. rims are 19x9.5 with +22 offset for the front, and 19x10.5 with +22 offset for the rear. with this wheels, I had no problem of clearing the endless brakes that I have(good thing I measured before I bought it).

nope, does not seem like it, now, we are waiting on HKS GT3037 turbos and from what I heard, the turbo is in back order till march... so as of now, my engine is sitting right next to my car just waiting for the stupid turbos. for the meet, I'll show up with my friend in his 04 g35 6mt 4dr. I would show up in the c6 but that car is in the body shop till late march...

weird, its not working for me either and i can't find the link anymore. basically I'm asking 2000 for the rims only and 2800 with tires. tires are Bridgeston S0-3's and front has about 85-90 % tread left and rear tires are brand new.

yo dawg u gotta hook up dem iced out spinners playa...g money yo, dubba dubs...iced out lifestyle...when da wheels stop the rims keep spinnin lol j/k

i don't think i saw below whether ur looking for performance rims or just for looks....are u looking for something lighter and stronger or just anything that looks good?

since u got a white G, then i would go bronze or gunmetal...that seems to be "in" now. anything but powder coat white rims...i was just discussing with mark and romi last night that white on white is just waaay too ugly..."like a styrofoam block rolling down the street."

i'm really diggin the HREs, the winnings are nice too, and also the rozzas are really good too. those are some of the ones that i know of that can have pretty fat lips and still look clean on the G.

DAMN. If only I weren't a high school student and had some extra money! Those bronze TE37 would look soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice on my Black Z. Even the tires that I want! Good luck with the sale man.

On your first entry...you said something like it barely clears you endless brakes without spacers....how much is the gap without spacers? Width wise, does the tires look like it is stretched? I see your picture and it looks like the wall of the tire is perpendicular to the ground, but I just wanted to ask your opinion? Was there a reason why you didn't want the 285/35/19 tire size for the back? Thanks WhiteG35C! Very helpful info!

Oh yea...you happen to have pictures of your rims and tires? I just want to check the conditions.

I think it has like 1/2 inch clearance. front tires does look little stretched but the rear seems to be ok I think...sorry I haven't seen my car for while. the reason why I didn't use the 285 was I know for sure, it will rub. if you want to come and look at it, let me know, my car is in gardena so its not that far from long beach.
