Thanks man. I'm afraid of running 295's lol. 285's were worrying me enough, when they didn't have em in stock anymore I switch to the 275's. These are Niche Targa m129. There's also the m130 which I can't find any differences other than color.

 

I got a 2013 G37S 6speed sedan last year, had a 2004 G35 lowered with the 19" Rays before that.

I love the new G37 but I'd like to get some 19" on her and I was curious how important it is to most of you regarding going with forged wheels or not? I live in Seattle where the roads can be pretty bad. It's unlikely that I'll track the car but I don't want to hit a pot hole and have the rim go all out of shape on me.

As far as "affordable" forged options what are there? Basically just the 370z Rays, G37 coupe 19s or the IPL wheels?

Do the flow formed wheels approach the strength of true forged wheels? Does it really matter?

 

G37 Coupe 19s and IPL wheels aren't forged but the older G35 coupe 19" Rays are forged and are a nice choice, can be found quite often for real good deals, and they clear the big Akebono calipers.
Forged are stronger, lighter (usually), and almost always significantly more expensive. You might find some decent forged wheels on the site now & then for around $2k, unfortunately most are coupe offsets that are too aggressive for sedan fitment
As far as flow formed or rotary forged wheels, they are stronger and lighter than gravity cast, and low pressure cast. The main advantage to these wheels is they don't have to have such thick barrels and spoke back-bracing which results in better clearance for big brakes especially w/ conservative offsets.

The SSR GTV line is a nice lineup of flow-formed wheels that clear BBK and
aren't too heavy, also have a nice look IMO.

Here's a thread w/ some wheels I happen to like at various price points, the Work Kiwamis are pretty tasty

Now that the Eibachs are on, here's my entry into the aggressive offset fat tire brotherhood.LOL

18x9.5+30 rr with 275-40 BFG comp2

 

Looks good!

 

usMust say those 18s w/ the nice wide stagger look awesome once you dropped it, great fit and the choice of that wheel design/color go great w/ your coupe, hats-off

 

Thanks Brad, that means alot coming from the Wheel Meister. It actually has already settled some more since yesterday. I will be posting a review on the Eibachs, and my before(dead stock) and after alignment specs after I take it in this weekend for an alignment. So far I'm pretty impressed with the ride quality. Also I posted a short review on the BFGs per your request.

 

what kind of drop is that

 

Subbed...

 

Question, will i be able to run a 275/40/19 tire on a 10in wide wheel, on a stock height ipl?

 

What's the offset of the wheel? My 275/40/18's were rubbing the bumper bracket at stock height on a 18x9.5+30 wheel. It required grinding the bracket back and eliminating the bolt.

 

You want 275/35's. 275/40 will look funny on 19's.

 

Rays Gramlights 57Xtreme
19x10.5 +43 305/30/19
19x9.5 +35 265/30/19

No rubbing.

 

You have any better pictures?

 

Wish I did, but it's hard to photograph dark wheels on a lowered car. I just put these on over the weekend, and now it's raining. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a clearer shot of them when the sun comes out.
