Avante Garde makes some great looking wheels (and not too heavy since they're low pressure cast) these would look pretty sweet on that G IMO, plus a great sponsor vendor too!

Or these if you want a more agressive look

Also, I believe that if I'm forking over $4-5k for wheels and tires, I want a quality product. Rays Engineering puts in the time and money in their R&D. (Note: Advans are also made by Rays). The Tein coilovers can ride pretty low- but they are adjustable. I have it on a medium damper setting and adjusted the ride height to be slightly higher than the drop on the eibach springs. I do get some rubbing going in and out of steep driveways and over speed bumps, but that's mostly due to the huge cans on the ARK GRIP, any other exhaust and you should be fine. Coming out of driveways can be an issue too and i've scraped the crap out of my oem front lip as it juts out quite a bit.

Offsets are 20x8.5 +38 Front, 20x9.5 +38 Rear
Thanks for your thoughts. I have your car as a wall paper

These are the Rays wheel I am thinking in matte graphite 19x8.5 square setup(G37xs) with continental dws. Not sure if I can get away with 19x9.5 and be flush and clear akebono bbk and later a mild drop?

Thanks blnewt. I like the wheels from first link and good price. I have a x sedan and rather not chance with a stagger setup.

I also think these vossen cv2 would look nice on a LP sedan too.

Forum member Dragon68 blue slate G with cv2...just so sweet.

Show off your sedans! - Page 51 - MyG37
If you like those AvanteGards I'd contact the vendor and see if you can get all 4 the same size, I doubt it would be a problem.

Good choice

I've seen two of those on G coupes in person. Lou at amplified has one on his bayside beauty. The wheels look great and are very functional, definitely give him a ring if you want to know more about the wheels and fitment.
