Picking wheels for my friend, need opinion.

Guys, I have an RX-8, but my friend with the G35 recently has the urge to get wheels lol... I've been crawling threads... Did you guys know there are friggin 166 pages in the Calling All Black Coupes thread?
so basically I've narrowed down to the forgestar f14 and tenzo type-m

CE28N and TE37 in the pic.

Couldn't find exact pictures, but the gunmetal wheels'd be Forgestar F14, and the black wheels with red lip'd be Tenzo Type-M, Car's a a black G35.

Gonna be running 19x8.5/9 and 19x10, 245 and 275. Offset 17 for 8.5 20 for 9 and 23/25 for 10

Price for the Forgestar with tires comes out to be 2700 and the Tenzo are 2200, these are only estimates, we haven't shopped around yet.

more pics

Yeah the pic of those wheels on the G looks whack. If you were going by overall look I would say the black ones. But those two are completely different looks. So first I would ask what look are they going for? Then I think we could better help you.

I'm not sure if I follow you. Where exactly did you see black wheels?

This, those wheels are nice, but I think there are better looking wheels for that price range

Agreed! Don't rush into getting new wheels just for the heck of it. Your just gonna end up spending more money later cause you are not gonna be happy with your purchase.
