What do you think of these wheels? Any other recommendations?

MMR HR2


or

ACE ALLOY MANTA


Im looking for rims around $250-275ea. I really want the g37 coupe 19s or M45 19s but I cant find them anywhere. The places that sell them reconditioned are never in stock or are $400ea.

Anyway, what do you think of the rims above? I would like to stick to 19x8.5 or 19x8 on all four to get longer life on tires and save money.

Can you recommend some wheels I may like better in my price range $250-275?

Thanks

I would choose NEITHER.. but if I had to choose one, I'd go w/ the MRR's.
If I were u, I'd ditch both of those and check in the marketplace for some used oem coupe 19s. They are definitely out there and for good prices too! You just have to search a lil..

at that price point you are somewhat limited...i think the OEM 19's are your best bet.

I'm not feeling those for some reason. I'm asking for non OEM recommendations since I can't find the g37 wheels non staggered without paying 400ea. So everyone is telling me there is no decent aftermarket wheels for 250-275 that aren't "ugly".

Any 5 split spokes wheels better than the ones above?

Pretty much.

It isn't a civic, you can't just throw any type/style rims on this car and get away with it.

The wheel would most likely be a universal fit wheel and the offsets are going to be poor on anything in that price range and will look odd when mounted on this car... then you have to put tires on them and you'll have more in the rubber than you have invested in the wheels.

If you must have something and are set on that price range then I stick with my OEM Rays recommendation.
