New Rims and coilovers

I have a 2009 G37 Sedan and am looking to get some 19 inch rims and new coilovers. Does anyone have any recommendations on type of rims I should get? Also what kind of coilovers are good for my car? I just want a comfortable ride (not too bouncy) with nice looking rims

Any help would be much appreciated (pictures would be good too!).

Best advice is to search because this is way too broad of a topic. Spend lots of time looking and then follow up with some more specific questions because this ultimately comes down to a matter of opinion and budget.

Love my Vossens... but if I had to do it all over again, I'd go lighter, not heavier.

Either volk or rays.

It's not a race car so just get what you like, wheels are all personal pref. I've riden on tanabe stance Megan etc etc, you really can't go wrong with any. Ya some ride "better". But at double the price for a non track car I wouldn't sweat it. IMO stance is a great middle road bang fo the buck mfg as long as g coils carry the same quality as 240s.

Wheels:Vossen, Rennen, Forgestar, Jlines, SSR, iForged and if you must go with Volk then only the TE37 SL and TE37 TT are worth having IMO

Coilover: Tein, Cusco, KW

Rims + Coilovers.....dont forget you're going to need tires. 19" tires are generally more expensive than even 20" tires because 19's are less common size. So you're going to spend another $1000 at least on tires. I would get the coilovers first and decide just how low you want to go, if this is your daily driver. From that point on you can start wheel selection and have a better idea of what offsets and tire widths you're going to need to run your setup. Also, keep in mind that if you're going lower, unless you invest in some adjustable camber kits, which usually run about $4-450 front and rear, you're going to have a issue with excessive camber wear on your tires.

for about $2500 you could get some ksport coils and some tenzo wheels, maybe even squeeze in some varrstoens, but thats a very limited budget for something good. Is your car an AWD or RWD
