Opinions?!? on the New wheels

Hey guys, I haven't posted up here in a really long time. Mostly I do my own thing, go to the meets, and mod my car the way it makes me happy. Unfortunately I have come to the hardest decision yet.... time to buy some new wheels... I have come to a stalemate as to which wheels to buy and asking for your opinions on which wheels YOU think would look best on my car?

Thinking 19's or 20's, open to suggestions on color, lip vs concave, and no I don't care if they are real or not. I am going to stay stock ride height for now but once summer starts again thinking of dropping the car down. Trying to stay under $2,000 for all four wheels, no tires.

Which wheels in your own opinion would look best on my car? Either pick some from the three I listed below or post up your own. Thanks for the help deciding!

The wheels that are on top of my list....

TE87 Look (black or gold)



BBS LM look in Opel with Polished lip



Varrstoen



Also love the color scheme here but obviously werks are out of the questions, too expensive





Yes I know a bunch of threads are up on "what are the best looking wheels" but honestly in my opinion best looking wheels depends on the color of the car, style of the car, modifications done to the car, and look the owner is going for. Thus just searching for the "what are the best looking wheels" doesn't really do me any good... again thanks for your help!

I had LMs on a previous car and I think they are such a classic and versatile wheel. I would choose those. Funny- so rarely see white G coupes in my area. She looks phenomenal. Your headlights are very nicely done.

From your post you have very limited funds so check out our MARKETPLACE under PRIVATE CLASSIFIED then wheels 19". Least expensive would be a set of '06 coupe wheels between $500 - $800 depending on condition. With a few more $$ you might find those Weds wheels at a affordable price...G/L!

I like those projectors!

The Varrostens were butttt ugly.

I have been becoming more of a fan of Concave wheels as opposed to a Lip

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
I'd recommend looking at these. A great price especially with fairly new tires on them and you'd need spacers on your coupe, but a classic wheel that's hard to beat.

Those SF Winnings that Blue Dream (Tim) posted are great wheels. If in the future you wanted to powder coat the centers gold or black that's a possibility. Good price!

is ur suspension stock? alot of those wheels u posted only look good if the car is dropped pretty low. the height of the car will determine alot in regards of how the wheels will look on the car in the end. if ur on a tight budget 06 350z rims are sick on g35 coupes
