Although the M368s are still available and a great looking option

Although they wont be better then your oem wheel in terms of structure integrity

Good luck with your decision and post pics when you get them!
I'd love to pick the ones that are lighter and stronger, but how do you find out these things? Even some of the manufacturer's websites don't list how the rims were made and how heavy they are.

Is there a resource available that can help me with this?

If it warrants, I don't mind spending a little more if I'm getting better quality. I am noob as far as rims go, I was just going by looks and hence didn't want to spend just to upgrade physical appearance.

In that case you'll want to look at rotary forged wheels such as Forgestars or TSW Nurburgrings.

Not all manufacturers list weight, but I can definitely get you any info you need.

I'll send you a PM with some options!

Those are great choices... I personally would go with Vossen or Avant Garde.
But to keep it JDM I would choose SSR.. Either way you cant go wrong is your style and taste,..

We can help with Pricing let me know as well..
We got Black Friday Special's going on now!!!!!

Been browsing local classifieds. What do you guys think about Rays Engineering A34? They are on listed at $1,000 for the set.

Apparentely they are forged monoblock, so def good quality. Does anyone here have these on a G37?

I'd jump all over those (as long as they're in good shape, here's a listing and you can see a pic of them on a Altima coupe)
I wouldn't wait, that's a steal!

So I've narrowed it down to these 3:

Rohana RC10


Niche Surge


Rays Engineering AR34


I'm going to take a look at the AR34 this weekend in person (they're used) but if they're in good condition might have to get them considering the value for money.

i have a 2010 x coupe, i put a set of staggered vossen cvt's on it, they are a true directional rim, so the spokes "twist" in a different direction on either side of the car.

They look beautiful. What are your offsets for the rear wheels? And, do you know the smallest offset we can fit on the x coupes in the back?

The cvt's that are on my white x coupe are 20x9 +32 on the front with a 245/35/20 michelin pilot super sport tire, the rear rims are 20x10.5 +45 with a 285/30/20 pilot super sport tire. There is no need to add any spacers and I haven't had any problems with the AWD system as the front and rear tires are very close to the same outside diameter


Here's a pic of my stock sized tires (installed bridgestone blizzak lm32) vs. one of my rear tiresName:  2014-11-16170036.jpg

If you can, save up for JDM wheels like Volk, Work or Advan. Heres my baby on the new 2014 Work D9R-s. 245 in the front and 295 in the back for that poke .
