You can Google the wheels' name and get plenty of results. But the only thing you've given us to help you figure out if they'll work is that they're 19s with a fat lip and they were supposedly on another G. I doubt it won't work though... but that would depend on if the other G had Brembos or not, and whether your car has Brembos or not.

no brembos on either car. i did google them and not that much comes up. they were discontinued and i want to know if there is a reason why they were discontinued or if they just stopped making them.

is sparco known for making good wheels or do they make crappy wheels? i didnt even know they made wheels up until now. i just want to make sure so i dont drop a thousand dollars on these and then regret it. the wheels and tires were only used for about 6 months so i figured it would be a good deal if they are legit.

They're Japanese wheels, so I would assume the quality is much better than many others even if they're on the bottom of the Japanese list. Japanese metal manufacturing is usually far superior to all others, that's why they usually come with a heavier price tag. Now it's the thing to buy and there's a shortage on materials, so the prices have gone up even more.

But although I'm used to Sparco wheels being JDM, I'm not familiar with them so I can't say for certain that these wheels are Japanese made.

I think they're discontinued, but it's a good looking in wheel in pics and in person. Good quality, too. As long as the fitments of the set you're looking at are good, that's a good wheel to have.
