19inch rims $399

So i was on ebay looking at what parts they sell for G35 and i ran across these rims. which i think look good, however the quality is really questionable.
What do you guys think , would these bend on 1 pot hole or is it a good deal?

I have stock g35 19s, forged rims are the best and strongest rims you can get.

Again don't believe the hype of these being bad wheels.

I have been running my Sterns for 4 years with no issues.
20X8.5 and 20X9.5

I'm not saying that these wheels are low quality or cheap wheels. You can run on these with confidence but they are really heavy and you will not feel the power of the car every time you give it a throttle. IMO, these wheels look good but i'd stick to the 19s stock wheels. 19s stock wheels also look good, plus they give you great performance, they are light weight and much more you can get from stock wheels. If you want to go aftermarket, then go for Volk, Work,Iforged or DPE, I mean forged wheels. I dont care they are 1piece 2piece or 3piece, as long as they are forged then you are good to go.

well not everyone can budget in $1200+ wheels and then another $1000 for tires

go to discount tire, sometimes they have decent packages.

Those wheels dont look to bad honestly

Just get em if you want em. You won't get much love here, but what does that matter if you really like them.

They look like Super Rozza knock-offs. Anyhow, the fitment on them is pretty weak.

I'd rather roll on stocks than rolling on some POS ebay rims.

if you get aftermarket wheels, dont get ones that look like the oem.. what would be the point? I can understand putting on rims if you had horrible whack *** sotckers but the oem 19's are great wheels.

And wheels do not have to be forged to be good wheels.. look at enkei or bbs who spin cast their wheels.

Wheels do not have to be forged to be good, you got it right but you forgot to mention about weight. Forged wheels are much lighter than cast wheels. Plus forged wheels are strong. Im rolling on Volk LE28N now which is forged 1 piece, I enjoy driving my car with these rims, I dont have to worry about pot holes or anything because they are really strong. And they are super light even with 18x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rears (this is my set) they are still very light and I can feel the power of the car.

A good place to shop for aftermarket rims is nowhere else other than G/Z forums. Who cares about used rims as long as they are good and make you feel happy every time you drive your car and plus used rims are much much cheaper than new; especially when used rims come with tires. Maybe that is just me. Good luck anyways.

So he might at the most lose a .10 in the quarter mile since they weigh a bit more. That's a far cry from saying he's not going to feel his cars power anymore.

I've seen HRE, Volk and BBS rims on E-bay.
