Good or bad...... reasons?

 

Bad... They look cheap and heavy. Aggressive fitment though, that's a plus

 

I really like the looks of those wheels and considered them myself but they are cast wheels which are a little heavy and somewhat weak. In the end I went with Iforged. The cost difference is significant (5 x price) and only you can decide where your money will be best spent.

Those wheels look good and are great bang for the buck but on the medium-low side of the quality spectrum overall.

 

Im looking to spend as little as possible but not get complete crap.... do you guys have any suggestions?

 

Try Enkei at Tirerack. Sometimes they are on sale for good prices. Those are cast but they use either low pressure or spin casting (I forget which) anway the result is a slight improvment on wheel quality. Maybe even the SSR or Volks at Tirerack but limited selection. SSR and Volk have much more variety at other stores but at much higher prices.

Unfortunately, nothing looks like the Sakata 5...

 

What do you think about these? the 19 inch ones are only 99 bucks and weigh 25 pounds... not bad i guess.
what do you think?

Hmmm...not feeling it with those wheels. Finding cheap, good wheels that look good is the hardest thing in the world.

Try going over the pitures section https://g35driver.com/forums/picture-share-245/ or the "lowered with wheels thread https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...ims-tires.html to see what those wheels look like on the car. Maybe they look good once they are on the car but I don't like them just standing by themselves. Sorry dude. Take your time since you will be pissed if you get wheels that you are not happy with.

 

You really get what you pay for when it comes to rims.. GL!

 

stick with oem 19's or find a nismo rays A34 rims in ebay. gl.

 

i like them. i have TSW myself. im not just saying that beacause they are tsw, there are ugly tsw's out three lol. but noone on here really likes or supports anything else but volks, works, axis, or anything ifroged..anything else is considered crap.

 

Save money...find used ones. Rims are not the place to skimp.

 

I agree with TheIvoryG. Be like the rest of us and spend a cool $4k for complete package. What, are you really affected by the down economy. Christ, you are out shopping for wheels. Save, save, and save. Then get something nice!

 

man, those wheels look tight! for the price, they're really badass IMO...i was about to purchase TSW thruxtons because they look so hard...but i didn't go with them because there were too many 350Z's and G coupes with them...i wouldn't really worry about wheel brand...and this is coming from a volk owner

you know, if you live in the city like i do, it doesn't matter if you have $1,000 rims or $10,000 rims, if you hit that forbidden pothole, your rims are F'ed regardless of how expensive they were...cast wheels, forged wheels, whatever...i was up at my friend's shop the other day and a maserati came in with forgiato wheels, way more "expensive" than volks and he raped the barrel of the wheel going over road plates...

my point is, if you're a brand-name *****, then go for the big name wheels...i got these volks because they were just too good a deal to pass up IMO, 2200 for wheels and brand new tires? any day of the week i'll take that deal...before that deal, i was lookin at nismo A34's, tsw thruxtons, and a slew of used volks/works...i base anything and everything i buy from a value stand-point, probably the reason i own this car...if i was a brand-name *****, i'd wear nothing but the finest clothes and stuff like that...but luckily i'm not like that, everything is looked at for its value and not for its price

 

i love tsw wheels ive had the jaramas in 22 for a year and with such a small tire and all the potholes here i havent bent the yet (knock on wood) i sell alot of them at my store as well, they def build a affordable, quality wheel and there colors match our cars

 

Get some stock M45 wheels and call it a day. Those look a little on the cheap side, you get what you pay for.
