350z rims on Sedan

I couldn't stand the looks of the OEM 18" rims on the G37 sedan, so when my tires were due for replacement, I decided to change the rims as well; so I bought a set of used 350z rims from CraigsList and got them installed with new Bridgestone RE760 Sport tires:




I think it's a big improvement over the OEM rims. The 19" G37 coupe rims would look better, but I don't want to lower my car.

that's funny...i couldn't stand the looks of my 2010 OEM 17s, so i bought a set of 2008 OEM 18s because I love those. Where were you just last week when I needed OEM 18s? You're in S. Cal also. I had to get mine from AZ.

I guess I'm one of the few people that likes the OEM 5 spoke split rims.

I'm not the biggest fan of the split 5's either.

Split 7's on the 2009 ftw

The split 7's look better to me than any of the wheels I'm seeing for the G! I have not found a classy wheel yet, on my BMW the CSL really set off that car. I may end up with a CSL type of wheel on my G37.

I like the 5 spokes too. But I have the 19" Nismo A34s on my G that were on the '04 Maxima.



Saving the stockers for winter.

Here are better pics of my car with the Z rims:





I think they give the G37 a more sporty appearance; notice also how they are more flush with the body because of the lower offset than the OEM rims (+30 vs +45)
