finding wheels are so hard

I have a g37 sport coupe and I have been looking for wheels for a couple months now. I have been having the hardest time find the right set for me. My color is Amethyst Graphite and I have been leaning towards the vossen 85's. I thought about volk's but they cost about a thousand more than vossens. I'm not racing or anything so lightweight forged wheels arent my main priority.

Can anyone give me ideas on some other wheels that are in the vossen price range for 20 inch size? I def. want something with a lip. any advice would be appreciated.

-yes I did search the forum but did not yield any good results for me.

Vossens are you best bang for the buck when it comes to wheels, quality wheels and reasonably price and on top of all.. sexy looking.

Look around in the wheels section to get some ideas and then in the Classifieds for some good deals on used ones. Had it not been for crazy shipping I'd be rocking ones myself.

You just need to set a budget and work from there.. there are always Volks GT or RE 30's, work vs-xx etc.. but be prepared to dig deeper into your pocket.. you still will get what you pay for though

My budget is 2 grand for rims alone then I will spend what I need to on tires. I think 2 grand is a decent budget to get some nice wheels. I determined that volks are more then what I would like to spend on wheels. I'm no baller, just want some quality wheels

I check the classifieds many times a day but few wheels have peaked my interest, which is why I have decided to search for new wheels instead of used. At first this process was fun, now its a headache. With spring rapidly approaching, I want my blizzaks off asap!!

thanks for your input guys!

Also XIX, Lexani & Axis....

XIX & Lexani = Luxury/Sport Wheels

Axis = Sport Wheels

These go for about $1,500 and they are all well made quality wheels.

Vossen wheels are the way to go.

Only wheel company that offers a 5 year workmanship warranty and a lifetime structural warranty.

Te's have for a long time been my favorite wheel. I agree with you though, something isn't quite right when put on a G37. They look gorgeous on a Z!!!

forgestars are less than 2grand and much lighter!
they also provide custom offset depending if you want aggressive, flush, or conservative with out rubbing at all.
