What do you guys think of these wheels?

I am thinking about getting 20"x8.5" offset +40mm Bolt Pattern 5 x 114.3 with a center bore of 64.1mm for my g35 coupe. Here is a link to what they look like http://ronjonwheels.com/legendtypeii.html. What do you think about them and the offset and how they will sit on the car?

What about these?

I am looking at these wheels and am wondering how they would look on my car. I have a 2004 G35 coupe. The wheels are 5ZIGEN GRAVIS 1 20x9.5 with +25 offset with 245/35/ZR 20 tires. How do you guys think these would fit and look on my car? They are these wheels but are black. Also if someone can help photoshop them black on a diamond graphite coupe with a little drop that would be great. thanks
basically like the below g35 in this link but in a diamond graphite color and black wheels https://g35driver.com/forums/buying-...is-i-20-a.html





Thanks!

^offsets are weak for the coupe, you'll make it seem like the wheels collapsed/sunked in.

Get at least F 20x9.5 (+15et) and R 20x10.5 (+15et) for a decently flush fitment.

Your offsets on the wheels above are wayyy too weak even for a sedan.

Yeah those wheels will tuck in further than the stock wheels and look funny.
You will need some large spacers to make them look decent. I would look for some other wheels with a better offset.

As said above, offsets are lame. +15-25+ would be ok

overpriced too for what you're getting. at 415 a wheel you could at least get something thats a better brand like XXR (see 521, or 526 with the +15 offsets). Still not work/volk/weds/advan but not horrible either.

need to be in single digit offsets (at least) for a coupe w/ 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears.

I am a huge fan of the Gravis1s if you couldn't tell.






If I could find a set in Hyper Silver I'd buy those as well. The offsets even at +25 are a little weak for a coupe, how much is the seller asking? For reference I bought mine last year off of Craigslist for $800 with Nitto 555s. I sold the tires for $300 so my net cost was $500.

They are asking 700. Yeah I am a little worried about the offset as being too weak. Your fitment looks great and that's pretty much how I would want it to look and sit on my coupe. Funny thing is too is that I was looking for black wheels but want one with a lip. if they where hyper silver or chrome I could picture it but i guess he painted them black and I can't picture if they would look good or not on a DG.

Thanks on the fitment. I got lucky and found a set that was +38, the +25s would have been a little more aggressive than I wanted. So I'm running a 15mm spacer up front to push them to +23 and a 5mm out back for +33 and I have adjusted my camber arms and toe to get all 4 corners back into factory spec.

My only concern with the black is it would reduce the visual impact of their concaveness which is one of the things I love about these wheels.
