19" Modular Rims for 07 Sedan NEW PICS/CHOICES, help choose.

Hey guys,

I have a line to get these with rubber for $1750.00. The tires are a brand I am not familiar with, I believe it started with a V and the guy said they are top of the line and come stock on Porsche and Lambo. Can anyone back that up, if so, I will probably go ahead with these. you think they will look good on a Lakeshore Slate Journey Sedan?

Specs:
Front: 19 x 8.5, 35mm offset
Rear: 19 x 10, 40mm offset
Platinum Silver Center with Chrome Lip (3" rear, 2.5" front)
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3>

They look very similar to what I have.

It would most likely look very close to this.

AWESOME!!! I love it!

Any word on these tires? I tried looking on tirerack or something, but I just dont know enough about it to trace them down.

EDIT: I called back and got the webpage for the vredestein tires

http://www.vredestein.com/

I think this deal might have to be a go!?!?

Thumbs up

Those wheels should look prettys sweet and the finish should look good with the darker color. I wish I could go with a staggered setup, the fat lip on the back is going to look hot. As for the tires are they an all season or a performace summer tire? I've never heard of the brand either.

The rear rims won't fit. They will definitely stick outside the wheel well. G35 coupe rims will definitely not fit properly on the rear of a G35 sedan. Based on the experiences of those who have purchased rims so far, it looks like 19 or 20" x 9.5" +45 is most optimal.

OK- I am looking into the Axis Matrix or Pentas now too. Since I can get them in the better 9.5" rear width. My next question is about the 'hyper black" color on the axis wheels. Its obviously not black... it seems to kinda blend in with the car color ie/ it looks darker on dark cars, and lighter on lighter cars?!?! I have a lakeshore slate sedan, you think it would look good?

which one? Penta or Matrix?

He even gave me the "look, I do this everyday" lecture. Is there anyone else with rims of this size (10" wide with a 40mm offset) on an '07 Sedan? It looks to me like they do not fit on MarcelKatz car... =(

Those offsets will only fit on your car if you plan on lowering it to increase the negative camber and tilt the top of the wheels inward. Marcel's wheels will fit perfectly after he lowers the car in the next coming weeks.

those guys will say anything to get you to buy their wheels

penta's for sure if you're going with Axis. Hyper black would definitely look good on LS.

This is sooooo tough!! So, I was planning on probably lowering the 1.3 inches with the H&R Sport Spring kit. What else would I have to do to make these fit "perfectly"?
