I love the MRR HR1 wheels. Opinions?

I currently have 20 inch rims and wonder when I am done wearing out the tires, should I sell my stock 19s and current 20s and go with the MRR. I also have problems with getting loose in 2nd and 3rd gear because I have some extra horsepower. I think these only come in 20s, and can't decide if I should go back to 19s.

I'm not a fan of those wheels, but your call. I would rather just run the 19s with spacers.

You're going to have a hard time breakin' loose with anything heavy and larger than 18 or 19. Rays 19s weigh nothing so they're pretty solid.

I have noticed in 2nd gear at 4200 rpms, is when the tires start to slip lots. Friends tell me 19s and new tires are the way to go.

Well, depending on what tires you get, you should have little to no slip.

I think 19s are the perfect size for the car.

Or you could just jack a Mazda 6...

Ewww. Similar style but not the same. Heh heh. I do think I saw a pic of a G35 on this site with the MRR rims. However, I did not save it.

I found these.

But I can't find a 2005 G35 coupe with the rims.

The MRR HR1 don't offer a great application for the G35 coupe.

20 8.5 35 offset
20 9.5 40 offset

You would have to run spacers to make it sit flush
