Question Some good wheels that won't break the bank?

I'm fairly clueless about rims and wanted some advice on some decent wheels that don't cost an arm and a leg. Nothing too flimsy either.

Thanks guys!

if you dont want to spend too much on wheels look for some used axis or volks...you could even find some nice iforged wheels that are barely used

You have to determine your budget. How much are you looking to spend? There are no "cheap" wheels of any quality in our size, but you don't have to spend $10K on a set either.

Unfortunately because of the offsets on the newer G37, it would be very hard to find anything used that would fit.

Talking to axis, they say they don't have anything that fits our cars. Even though I showed them pics of the one guy running Axis Shines.

cheapo and quality dont go hand in hand. used are hard b/c mentioned our offsets. again as mentioned see what your total budget is and then find some styles.

volks, works, dpe, iforged, jline are great starts. zone is another good one, also you need to know size and what style your going for. cheap is something you don't want to do though on a G37 IMHO.

Thanks everybody for all your input. I wasn't looking to spend more than $4K for a set of rims (20") with tires. Not sure what style I want either.
