Who told you that? Most would agree that Work is one of the top rim manufacturers in Japan. If I remember correctly, I think Work also gives you a 2 year finish warranty. Besides, if you bought the Wheel & Tire insurance, your aftermarket rims will be covered, if you bend them. (According to Grubbs)

Just make sure you get the Emotion CR KAI, not the Emotion CR. The KAI one, uses their new pressure casting technique, which yields a stronger and lighter rim. They are about the same price.

HEY!!! That's my G!

I like the J8's on there better but they're out of his price range. Feel free to use that image as much as you want, I relinquish my copyright, hehe.

okay... I think I should raise my budget to around 1400...

How are ADR and ACE? are they reliable? I did a search, but seems no one is using them... what other brands do u recommand? or which kind of wheels match G35 sedan?

Not sure on the ADR's, maybe too big a step down. Ace has some decent wheels. Also check out Axis, Enkei, Konig.

i saw lots of ppl using coupe rims with coupe stock tires on their sedan, just want to know...what does that mean about "30mm offset is very close "
Also about the VDC problem. Some ppl say it wont work ..when you have different size of tires. Also want to know if i wanna put some aftermarket rims, what can we do to the tire pressure monitor? Some ppl just ignore it so the light will be always on, but i dont want to do that. Can any one help??
