That's the problem with shopping rims... Online and real world just aren't the same thing. Moreover, a staged professional photo of a single wheel is a completely different thing than when it's on a car. For example, those RSM9 rims are beautiful alone, but I've yet to see a really appealing photo of those rims mounted.

This is one thing that VOSSEN is really good at. Their photo gallery is amazing, even if too many of the vehicles are dropped like clown cars.

The VMR wheels are good looking but a bit aggresive for sedans
it's a tight fit but they look really

seen them on Kenny's facebook when he added it on Infiniti G35/G37 Sedans FB page ... I even talked to him about them. they look great indeed and they're not too agressive...

in our bolt pattern it seems they only come 19 x 9.5

VMR V710

and even cheaper than the Enkeis... I will have to look into those wheels as well since these actually do look good on our cars , hence the picture above

Wow I like the tips on that exhaust, very nice. Did the tips come like that or are they custom? I really need to change mine since they are terrible looking.

See, there you go adding even more to think about

I think it really depends what else you do to your car. if you keep most of the chrome the Hyper Silver would be best IMO, w/ some deletion of chrome the Gunmetal FTW, can't really go wrong w/ either though.
I saw those same wheels in black on a 335i and they really are nice w/ the perfect amount of concavity.

Everything about Lorenzos' G is perfection, so what do you expect from the exhaust tips?? Those really are superb!

Yes I do agree. The single wall jagged edge tips on my top speed exhaust are just aweful. Next year that is 2nd on my list to change. The list keeps getting longer and longer.

Ok so here is the next question... has anyone ever tried putting some stock STI wheels on these things? They are Enkeis... a decent weight.... and are 18x8.5.
Just a thought.

Thanks for the props Brad and this whole wheel topic is very mind bottling. So many wheels, so many choices.

( not like I will spent 3-4k on forged anyway)
The ACE Mesh 7's are also really nice. My fellow teammate is rocking those!

Giant CF stick-ons at the sides of the bumper completely cheapen an otherwise very attractive Sedan.

It's kind of like having a Grecian statue at your front door... you can't buy good taste, you either have it or you don't.

Not stick ons....he actually cut out the bumper to install those for his Cold Air Intakes. Functional?
