wheels for my G

I need some help choosing some wheels for my G coupe. As a few of the people in this forum i am in a college budget and cant afford to buy the volk or ssr that i would love to get. But i can afford the tenzo's and i know that theres a few people that hate those wheels but what can i do. I dont know if to go with the type m or the dc5 both will be 19.8 & 19.10. since my car is black i will go with black with the red stripe for the both wheels. what wheels do you think would be a better choice and look for my car??

(dont be an *** also i cant afford volk or ssr or anything that is that expensive but i also cannot roll on oem's.)

it seems to be that its a wanting wheels because you "cant" roll on oems but no money for nice wheels is a bad combination, i would say just suck it up roll on oems your g can still look clean on oems and save your money search around and you can get quality wheels, the oem wheels are not ugly, in fact they are some of the nicest oem wheels i have seen, i dont knnow why you want rush buying something that will change the look of your g, just suck it up man and do your best to make it look as good for now, but remember sometimes even stock is a clean look over doing things out of carelessness and rushing. Sometimes the best look is a stock look, because you didnt mess up the already nice looking g. Dont rush it man, have patience otherwise your g will look pretty ugly. Of course there are those who would say "to each their own" and that "its your car" and those statements are true, but if you cant roll on oems and want some nice wheels obviously the opinion of others matters to you. Hope that helped

it seems that you want tenzos, go for them man i personally would not put them on a g35 but that is my particular taste and its obvious we dont share the same test, so go for the tenzos it seems your mind is made up already

well 19s in tenzos, new with tires still run you 1500-2gs? out the door...
thats almost a used set of some other wheels...

if tenzos float ur boat, then go for it, maybe the NEWER models are gonna come out soon.

there's some good used rims here and there..just look around before u dive in and buying the tenzos.nothing wrong with those.just saying..

I'd put Tenzo's on my ride before Axis/Mrr/RPM/etc. Tenzo makes some pretty nice wheels. As long as they look good!!! It just so happens that 90% of these replica wheels look like crap. IMO Axis wheels just look cheap. Honestly noone needs Volk/Works/SSR's for daily driving. So the whole "so and so wheels will break" is pretty much pointless. If you're traking your car on a weekly basis and doin canyons then sure i'd say get some quality wheels. But you're fine with most knock-off. IMO Tenzo/Rota/R-1 are really the only ones who make nice enough replicas that i would put on my car!
