Hey Ham, congrats on the new car. As for suggestions, how about checking out the rides section and seeing if there is a car that has something you like (look at the coupes too as several of them are sporting aftermarket rims). There are just too many options out there and everyone has their own opinion. There's mesh style, chrome, classy, sporty, etc and you should pick what you like.
There are a few threads on proper sizing and offset 19x9 and wheel offset so that should get you in the right direction.
Good luck and let us know what you pick!!

Drive safe, have fun, kick butt when necessary

Ham...do you have a preference yet?

Chrome, gunmetal, silver, Opal?
Mesh, 5-star, 6-spoke, 7-spoke, big lip, small lip, no lip?
18, 19, 20 ?
Price: high end, moderate, affordable?

Lots of us are looking into wheels, if we know your preferences, you'll get a lot of suggestions.

Congrats on your new purchase and welcome to the forum!

My suggestion is light weight rims. What ever you like but try to get it a light as you can-keeps the speed up[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Hey Man,

Thanks for getting back to me on the post and my rims. I'm looking at the rides section right now and scouting some of the rims on there. I am looking at putting 18's on mine.

I will let you know what I get.

 

Ham: take a look at these. I think the factory 18" wheel is very attractive, and while these are a chrome look a like, they also offer a Black Pearl which would look great on your Black Sedan. Here is their link:

I particularly like this rim as it is easy to clean off the brake dust, which unfortunately is a lot on these G35s. Given the large quanitities of brake dust, I didn't want to consider any rims that had all kinds of "ginger bread" along the rim.

Hey Ca_Kid...

Thanks for the pic and replying to my post. Those rims are sweet. Do you have those on your G35? I'm still looking all over the place at different rims, but I haven't made my mind up yet as far as what I want. I will consider these rims also. I hear ya with the brake dust, I just got my car cleaned yesterday and the brak dust was all over my left front rim. It's unreal the amount on the rim.

If you can send me the pic of the black pearl rims, I would like to see those as well.
