the second ones are pretty nice, but all the stern wheels are pretty heavy in general.

. Take a look at wheelmax.com they sell A.Z.A staggered wheels they are pretty cheap, and they look much better than those stern wheels, but remember you get what you pay for.

I like the second set the best, and yes these are inexpensive wheels but for the money they are pretty good quality. And yeah I guess they are heavy too lol.

I've seen a couple members here that has them, they're not bad looking at all, and yeah they might be heavy, but half of the wheels available for the G are all heavy. IMO. they're nice set of wheels for ones with a budget.

I like the 1st set myself. In fact I've thought about these wheels myself. But I am leaning towards the TSW Thruxtons right now. I just can't seem to make up my mind.

Stern wheels........?

When buying new wheels for your G35 try to upgrade not downgrade! You
said it, those are cheap....heavy and not worth installing.

Almost got a set of TSW Thruxtons myself, but I have researched and found that TSW makes a very soft wheel that is prone to problems. The sterns may be heavier, but they will be stronger and the difference in performance will be very marginal anyways.

You didn't buy a generic car....so why buy generic wheels. Why not save up and get something you want instead of something something u may regret later on.

you may want to pick up a forged volk rim in the same size to compare the weight. i garauntee you won't think it's light after that.
