Need some expert advice

I just needed some advice, I have a 2008 g37s coupe , I do use it to drive to work which is 25 km/day total. I am planning on putting some nice rims on...in terms of daily driving do you think its worth putting rims on and when I do plan on selling which will be in the next 2 years will I be able to come back to stock and get a good resale value. Will the ride quality be effected and in terms of wear and tear any think you would suggest, I do have another car which I use/or will use in the winter so I wont put too many kms on through the year(I am in Canada hence winter issues )....

Thanks guys am sure these questions are probably asked a bazillion times

The ride quality will be affected depending on size of the wheels. If you're going up in size from stock, youre going to feel the road more and it will be more bumpy. But if u stick with a 19 inch aftermarket wheel it should be similar to stock or even better depending on the width of the tires and width of the wheels

Changing out wheels will not affect your resale value at all if you put the stock wheels back on when you sell. Larger diameter wheels and shorter sidewall tires that go along with them will degrade your ride quality somewhat. It shouldn't cause any more wear and tear on the car.

What are you considering as "some nice rims"?

And yes, people are ignoring your thread because you are from Canada. Either that or because you posted this in the middle of the night on a Sunday and it's only been a few hours and most people are just getting to work to start their week and not replying to threads.

You'll be fine with either of those wheels. Get good quality tires and your ride quality will suffer less than if you get tires that have a harsher ride. Go on tirerack.com and do some research as to what tires in your size will give you a comfortable ride if that's your main concern.

It's hella worth it. You can't go wrong with either wheel!

Do It but don't forget to lower it and post pics too!!!

+1 I been on Falkens and seriously if it were not for fitment reasons i would have never got. Never buying these again lol VERY harsh riding tires lol.
Just being honest I miss my Hankooks, next i will try S Drives or Invos. Spend a bit more and get quality tires
