Nope they are still $499. Try searching under a 2003 G35 Coupe/Leather. Then they will show you all the wheels that fit for the 2003 Coupe/Leather. They are right there for $499. But only $499 in the Black Diamond color (also known as Bright Satin i think)

Anyways, i just got my Wheels in today and they look great! Ill post pics soon. My car will be ready from the body shop tomorrow too. I got the 06 projectors, kurumaz front bumper, and impul sides installed. It all looks great! No gaps! The sides took a little extra work to fit nicely, but the KurumaZ bumper fit perfectly, the turn signal markers dont stick out at all like they did on early production KurumaZ bumpers.

I have been waiting like a month on the Impul Lip Spoiler from SPeedstash, that is going to top it all off nicely.

Anyways i will probabley post pics tomorrow, but probabley not with the new wheels yet. Ill post pics of new wheels on the car in like a week. (with 350z tein h techs)

Oh, and another thing. This forum seems to recommend 275/35/19 rearsand 245/35/19 fronts.

Tirerack recommends 245/40/19 rears, and 225/40/19 rears.

What do you guys think?

The 40/s are very tempting because im sure the ride will be a little smoother, and it might even accelerate quicker, and even tho it would be a little higher, there would be a little less wheel gap too right??

^^^^ The Tirerack sizes are the same as the stock sizes. That's a default size.

Andy's right - the Tire Rack defaults to factory fitment. Both sizes will fit fine, and overall diameter will be close.

Don't be misled by the aspect ratio . . . the 40 series does not have much more sidewall than the 35's (49 mm vs. 48.125 mm on the rear). The factory size should weigh a little less, but there are more brands to choose from when you step up to the 35 series. I have a 19" package on order myself, and I went with the meatier rubber for my '04 6MT.

Hey Derek. You have 19's right? Did your wheels ship with spacers? And if spacers were shipped did you use them? Do you know if Chops used the spacers?

I've never been a big fan of mesh wheels, although if you're gonna have them, BBS makes some nice ones. I just feel like BBS, OZ, etc... seem to look better on Euro cars though...?

Will these wheels fit on '04 Coupe 6MT? The wheels only show up when you pick '03-Coupe-Leather, not manual. So does that mean these wheels don't fit with the brembo's?

I have only seen these wheels on G35's w/brembo
Including mine, Chops and another member of theis board (Dean..) who has them in 18's.

If you're looking for a set of the same RGR's in 19"
I have a set of 8.5f / 9.5r which were on the ground for 1k.

If you're interested let me know.
