Wheel Suggestions needed!

I know you guys get this thread all the time, but please try to be nice and help me out .

Anyways I narrowed down my options to 19 inch work variazna t1s, and 19 inch

g37 sports wheels. So here are my questions.

1. If I was to get the t1s, what is the biggiest lip size I can go with, without

any modification to fenders(rollin, shavin, do not wanna deal with).

2. If I were to get akebono brakes(g37), later on what is the biggiest lip I can go with in this case??

3. I'm considering not dropping the car; this is the main reason why I'm getting 19 instead of 20's. I noticed that g37 wheels on g35 looks pretty good without any drop. What offsets should I got with to replicate this look??


As you can tell I'm heavily leaning toward to the work wheels( I was considering sevas and iforged... but their reliability wasn't just cutting it)

Is there a reason why I should not get the t1s?(beside it is triple the price of g37 wheels lol)

Thanks again!!

1. If I was to get the t1s, what is the biggiest lip size I can go with, without any modification to fenders(rollin, shavin, do not wanna deal with). Your fenders are already rolled. I've seen 3.5" lips on 10+ inch rims

2. If I were to get akebono brakes(g37), later on what is the biggiest lip I can go with in this case?? This is a question for your dealer, and depend on the shape of the spokes and offset.

3. I'm considering not dropping the car; this is the main reason why I'm getting 19 instead of 20's. I noticed that g37 wheels on g35 looks pretty good without any drop. What offsets should I got with to replicate this look?? The g37 rims have the factory offset so you will have no choices, they are not custom wheels. PS: You should drop it

As you can tell I'm heavily leaning toward to the work wheels (I was considering sevas and iforged... but their reliability wasn't just cutting it) I've read the same story about the "cast" Seva's cracking but I doubt you'll ever meet anyone in your life this has happen to. You'd have to hit a curb hard to cause that and a hard curb hit will ruin any wheel. As for Iforged I found one similar story about a broken 3 piece wheel (before buying mine), if you look hard enough you'll find one story about any wheel. You will not be buying a three piece wheel for your G anyway, there is no reason to. The two piece Iforged wheels have a one piece forged barrel. You are not going to crack that thing without smashing it into a curb or basically wrecking your car. I read similar stories about breaking HRE, DPE and other forged wheels. Forged wheels are not neccessarily stronger than cast wheels, the metal is made stronger by pressing the metal reducing voids (better quality) allowing them to use less material. If you took a typical cast wheel and cut it open with a band saw you'd find little voids in the metal. Forged aluminum doesn't have visible voids. Forged Aluminum is sort of like using titanium. It's not neccassarily a much lighter metal, it's just stronger per pound than other materials so they can make thinner spokes to create a wheel that is lighter and equally strong.

Is there a reason why I should not get the t1s?(beside it is triple the price of g37 wheels lol) - No, buy the T1S if you like that style and have the money.
