rims discussion

i'm looking for up to date websites that sell aftermarket rims, i have a couple rim websites that i know but they don't have new model rims 09 and 10, and i'd rather not purchase from there, because they're older model rims, i'm not rulling out older model rims, i just want to compare them to newer model rims, all brands too honestly i have no idea what brand or style rims look coupe on g37's , i need some help guys thanks!

What is your budget? BBS makes some gorgeous rims. As does Iforged and forgestar as others have pointed out. Personally, a G37S lowered on the stockers with a bit of camber looks very appealing in my eyes.

^^that is true, but if you are going to stay OEM you need 15-20mm spacers to make it look right. depending on the color of your G some PC'ing too

^^ I agree, top of rim/tire should be flush with the fender. I have no problem with spacers when done right, in fact I have 10mm all around in my RS4 and it indeed finished the look. Need to be both hub and wheel centric for the proper fit though, or you will be vibrating at highway speeds. Longer lugs too, or else your just being straight dangerous.

I just ordered 30mm for the fronts and 35mm for the rears. I'm hella tucked right now and I'll probably need to dial in more camber but I love this: /_\

WOAH!! yeah with 30mm if you are dropped at all you will need to dial the camber up significantly unless you want to rub. But I'm sure it will look sick, it's the first OEM I've heard of with 30mm spacers

How about on G37S, with Eibach Pro, stock tires. 15mm spacers all around. Ichiviba v2 or HR spacers. Is this the perfect flush. Daily driver/mature etc.

Yea I'm on H&R's that settled nice and low. About half a soda can clearance .

Yea I wanted to do something different. I know how everyone gets hellaflush aftermarket rims. I figured I'd be the first with OEM rims.

jeez lots of comments, my budget sucks lol i do like some bbs rims and i know i want to keep it black everything on my car is black but my grille and my rims, which i think i want to do some kind of accenting but i'm not sure like keep a little chrome in the grille then accent it with a chrome lip on black wheels.

what looks better tho i don't like my oem 18s i do like the oem 19s for the S models, and i'm scared to get anything but forged if i get 20's i feel if i get 19s i won't need to be as scared because i'll be able to have more tire. i don't have a drop on my car at all it's the x so it's higher than the S eventually would like to put a little bit of a drop in it.

I'm gonna check iforged, but the forged rims are a grand a piece, i mean it's nice to dream right?

ohh and the spacers, i have no idea about it's confusing the **** out of me, so like i have no idea which rims would be able to fit on my g especially with the awd

Rule #1 - The drop comes before the rims.
