Please Help me Decide Between these 3 wheels

I just got a 08 G37 5AT Blue Slate, with Nav/Prem Package, non sport.....also have the fujita dual intake

I work for a wheel company that my cousins own, but I wont mention it because I dont care too much to advertise it here and I dont want to get in trouble....Im really excited about my new car and want to enjoy this forum

Its is a 3 piece forged wheel manufacturer that makes wheels for very high end cars...

I am trying to choose between these 3 wheels....Keep in mind I can customize them in any way I want, and paint them or chrome them or have them brushed finish in any combination I want..

Here are a couple of pictures that I am making my decision based on.....Please keep in mind that my car is BLUE SLATE

CHOICE A




CHOICE B




CHOCIE C

They are all pure sexiness but I'd choose C. Have your cousin become a vendor here on the forum and hook us all up! Seriously, PM me with info as I am interested in these.

slapinfunk - i just got it on sunday, and i have been at vegas all week for the sema show....i just got back today and finally drove it....ive never wanted to leave vegas to come home before

gday - thanks for the offer, but these wheels cost about $6000 for just the set of wheels without tires, and I am going to be getting them for free...cant pass that up

B.B-Ill definitely talk to them about being vendors

MSB3079 - I agree that m6 looks bad...but those particular wheels look amazing on my friends z06, the wheel is a beautiful wheel....i was thinking about color matching the center section and leaving the rest silver

6 G's for those wheels? Price don't mean shlt if they look like that. haha. But it's ur car.. Personally, I would buy Japanese wheels seeing that our car is from Japan..

I mean, what would you think if you saw a Mustang with some Volk TE-37 wheels? You would say WTF is that. haha.

Who makes those wheels? It good they are forged wheels, but they don't look aesthetically pleasing. Whats the website for the wheels? Where are they made?

edit: nevermind. Some company called Forgiato makes them. haha. Is that Spanish for "forgery"???

I checked out the website. There are some truly beautiful wheels there! I think that most of the owners on this forum' tastes would differ as to what looks good on the car. I hate a lot of very expensive wheels that many Infiniti owner and "tuners" choose. But to each his own. The skilled craftsmanship and artistry in these wheels is evident even though they aren't "forged in Japan". For my $5K I'd gladly have these on the G over what most people here would choose. And it should go without saying that this is your obvious choice (with custom Blue Slate accents, chrome lip, and satin spokes of course):
