Help with picking rims

Hi fellow Canadians
I'm looking to buy a set of nice rims for my '09 G37S Vert (sport/6MT).
I searched the "Wheels" section of the main forum but it is very confusing and I really want to buy from a Canadian dealer.
I need 19" rims for my summer tires, I'm keeping the winter tires on the original OEM rims.
Infiniti only offers 1 style aside from the stockers. I'm hopping that someone on this forum has bought after-market rims and could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Dan

there are plenty of canadian wheel dealers....however im sure these dealers would probably have to order alot of the wheels you see on here anyways....so youre better off just getting them yourself from the vendors on here and have them shipped....why pay more just to have some guy pick up the phone and order for you?

i would start first by learning about fitment etc for our cars-not all wheels will "fit" (wont clear brake calipers (unless you use spacerss) then start shopping. Most tire/wheel sites ie. tirerack allow you to punch in your car details and will only show results for wheels that fit your car...

I ordered a set of 20" 3 piece forged wheels for my G last year but no way in hell was I paying out the nose from a Canadian dealer. I love Canada and all and I try to buy my stuff in Canada whenever possible, but when it comes to certain things (such as car parts) it just doesn't make sense financially to buy from a Canadian dealer. Even when the dollar was at par a lot of the dealers here were out to lunch on their pricing.

Had I purchased my wheels in Canada I would be looking at upwards of 8 grand without tires. I was able to get them for about 5 Canadian.

Now when it comes to tires, I was able to get a set of Falken 452's from a CDN dealer for a little bit more than the US dealer, so I purchased them here.
