Need help finding some wheels

My friend has a IP G35C and likes this wheel called linea corse z2s
I know there are many wheels out there with similar designs so if anyone could suggest some, would be greatly appreciated, oh and in 19's would be nice. Here it is on a website but he hasnt been able to find em elsewhere cheaper so hes lookin around for other brands offering it in similar specs and design. Thanks!!

What's your friend's budget? You could get some works (like tragedycat suggests) or volk sf-winning's, but that's going to cost about 4K (more or less) w/ tires. Or you could get mrr gt1's, axis pentas, or tenzo type m's that will cost you a little over 2k with tires.

ok those wheels i posted are like $1200 or so, I was hoping to find some immitations for cheper, hes def not gonna spend $2K for wheels and tires, even $1500 is a stretch. Id say anything under 1200 including tires is good

That wheel you posted already IS an imitation, and a cheap one at that. And under $1200 with tires? Not happening.

Tell him to get a set of used OEM Rays 19", they are great looking and performing wheels. Anything else even remotely in your desired price range is going to be complete trash.

^+1 Tell your friend to get the rays, they are great quality rims and don't weigh much. Anything under $1,200 is going to be prone to cracking and bending, and will weigh a lot.

The OEM rims are made by rays engineering who also makes volk rims. You could find a used set with tires for about 1k in the marketplace under private classifieds.

Seems like a good set of tires would cost more than that in that size.

let your buddy know that 19s are very expensive to replace. I honestly would never switch to rims that are poor quality. They usually add weight which will increase fuel consumption. OEM 19s are the best bang for your buck.. Looks are subjective but i think they look better than alot of aftermarket rims(even name brands)
