Need Opinions Please

I have a 2004 g35x sedan. I wanna buy a set of wheels but don't plan on dropping or at least not anytime soon. I know i have stock 17" rims, so im thinking 18" wont look too bad at standard height. Any idea how it would actually look? Does anyone know of any nice 18" wheels?

Get 19s wheels! It just suits the car better. Check out SDGENIUS car on 19'' Forgestar F14 wheels:





He ran 19x8.5 (front) and 19x10.0 (rear) with 245/35/19 tires (front) and 275/35/19 tires (rear).

It'll look a little better with 18" but you'll still have about the same amount of wheel well gap. I brought that up because you mentioned standard height so it seem you may be a little concern with wheel gap?

Go for some Enkei RPF1 18s or something along those lines. Light wheels, pretty strong, not stupidly expensive and some color options.

I was wondering the same thing, if anyone had pictures of stock suspension with 18inch/19inch wheels. I'm curious about how it looks like. Thanks!

A family member had a '04 sedan we put 19" coupe wheels on, they looked great! Without wasting $$ on Enkei trash wheels you can find '06coupe wheels on our MARKETPLACE under private classified 19" wheels. The 18" don't look nearly as nice....been there!

Imo the coupe 18s look better on the SEDAN, I guess it's just a personal preference. But yes OP, look into oem coupe 18's/19's

In my opinion 19" wheels definitely suit the car better but 18s won't look terrible.

how many spokes are you looking for?

I like odd number of spokes and a wheel with a dish/lip to it.

19" wheels with the properly sized tire will help reduce wheel gap.

It also depend on what you can or want to spend.
