i'm very confused

i recently got my older brothers 2006 g35 coupe, he upgraded to something better.. :/. anyways, the rims are pretty messed up, so i was looking for some prices on some new OEM rims or prices to repair them. I have the OEM 7 spoke 19" rims, but i looked all over the internet and this website, and the only OEM 19" rims i can find are the rays. I even went outside to check the diameter of my rims, and they are definitely 19". I am a noob, so there probably is a simple answer, but please help. TIA

Are you sure you measured it correctly? The 7 spoke OEM wheels only come in 17" and 18". There are shops that can fix up the wheels for around $150 each. I recommend you get the 19" Rays or get some aftermarkets wheels.

here are the pics:

sorry for the bad quality, the pictures were taken with an iphone. you may not be able to read the numbers clearly, so if you want, look for where the number changes from single digits to double digits, and count off the numbers until you get to the edge of the rim. they are all 19"..

those are the non sport one, typically on the 6 mt 05+ have the 10 spoke oem 19s rays that you are talking about. The one you have normally comes on the automatic ones unless they upgraded to the oem rays from factory or purchased a set themselves

yeah, this is an automatic 06 coupe. but my problem is, i can't find any of these in 19", all i see is the 18" versions of these rims.. The guy up there said they only make these in 17" and 18", but mine are 19", so i'm very confused..

The 7 spoke only came in 17 and 18 inch rims. Even though your measuring it by hand, the tape measure isn't that accurate. You have the 18s btw.

The Rays(5 double spoke) are the only 19's that are OEM.

Sorry buddy, those are OEM 18's.

Let me prove it to you. Look at the tire size.

Tires 101: 245x35x19

245 = width of tire (mm)
35 = heigt of sidewall
19 = size of wheel (inches)

Close, but the height is not in actual mm, it's a percentage or ratio of the tire width. A 35 series for a 295 mm tire will have a much bigger sidewall than a 35 for a 215.
