I doubt you'd fine ISF wheels for cheap. You're better off getting a set of G37C wheels and painting/pc'ing them, kinda like these beauties :

The G37 Coupe wheels look SOOOOO much better than the G37 sedan rims.

no your car will catch fire.

staggered g37 19s with stock tires will run with AWD without anyproblems. Their dimensions are very good match. Stop being so scared of this. Its not rocket science.
If something is really wrong with you and u want all fronts, Just so u know all rears will work too.
oh yea dont forget to lower ur car.

I was looking into getting 19 X 8.5 AXIS shines for my blue slate 07 Sedan (non-staggered fitment - I hear the staggered fitment on a 'x' causes issues).

Here is a photo of the wheel in question

I have a blue slate car--anyone have some favorite classy non-OEM wheels they think would look good with it? Not something super chrome or blingy, just classy and nice like the g37s

Just found out that it will be REALLY hard to find all weather tires for 19" wheels so I'm really beginning to consider getting the G37s 18" knockoffs:

Amazon Amazon


I may be able to get them from someone around here for $600 new for a set of 18"x8" wide with +45 offset.

I don't know much about this, but would I have to do anything to make this fit my car besides get smaller profile tires? Also, what tire size would I have to get for these? Would it be the same as the size the G35xs uses?

Any disadvantages towards getting these or can my $600 be put towards better wheels? They weigh 25.4 lbs and are painted cast iron. Also, can I use the stock Infiniti logos on the wheels instead of the "sport edition" logos?

Finally, will it be hard to take off the TPMs from my old wheels to put on these? Am I better off just getting new TPMs?

Thanks for everyone's help!

before you do that look into other OEM options. nothing against aftermarket rims but many are much weaker than OEM wheels. check out 350z anniversary rims, you can find them cheap every now and then on my350z.com. but i would deffinitely check out other OEM nissan/infiniti wheels before you go for inexpensive aftermarket rims.

In what way are these aftermarket rims worse than OEM? I think in terms of weight, they are actually lighter than the OEM.

They are "sometims", not always, weaker than OEM rims. it will be easier to crack or bend a rim. and the other problem is they will sometimes discontinue inexpensive aftermarket rims making it harder to find a replacement if you are in a situation where you bend or crack a rim. I mean if you were talking about a set of Volk or O.Z rims, sure most of them are usually as strong as OEM rims. Just some of the inexpensive aftermarkets can be weaker.

did you run into any issues down the road running that setup?

I just put 235/35/19 front and 245/35/19 back on my car Falken 452. So far no issue. The backs are only 10 mm wider and 7 mm taller. So far only about 60 miles on them but no issues. The tires were almost new and the rims only had a bit of minor curb rash on the back. The rims are VIP Furious. Not a high end rim but the rims and tires were $900 so I couldn't refuse. The car drives and handles much better.
