Help me make the toughest decision - which of these WHEELS to get?

I've spent pretty much all day researching wheels for my coupe. I still haven't exhausted all resources, not sure you ever can, there's just so much out there.

I have a Black 2009 G37x coupe. I intend to put 20x8.5 rims w/ Toyo Proxes 4 Plus 245/35/20 all around. Plan to drop it as well after I get the wheels installed.

See the shortlist below. Would love everyone's input to help me make a decision from the ones below or even recommend others similar to those below which look good on the g37 and are somewhat reasonable ($200-$300 per rim).

EDIT:

I did some research recommended by you guys and have narrowed it down to these:

Rohana RC10


Niche Surge


Rays Engineering AR34

Get one of each and rotate them out regularly.

Stock Z or G Sport wheels would look better than any of the options listed

Please, please dont get any of these wheels. Especially the Lorenzos.. if these were the only options you had I would say you look at the Ace mesh-7 wheels. Just so you know though, you can get better quality wheels for slightly more, check out Incurve Wheels | Deep Concave Wheels | Forged Concave Wheels

To be clear, the cast wheels is what I'm recommending for the budget you've set in place. Goodluck!

MRR HR10 are a nice looking wheel w/ a deep concave


Those Stance wheels are also a good option, also the Niche lineup are pretty popular around here for a decent prices

If you don't absolutely need All Season tires the Toyo Proxes T1Sports are a much better wet/dry performer.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

I did some research recommended by you guys and have narrowed it down some more (see edit in OP).

No, I edited my first post lol. Didn't see the reason to leave pictures of rims I already cut in the OP.

And, I know 9 rims isn't really a "short"list. My favourite is the Niche Surge at the moment.

Niche surge is decent a local company in my area. Only if you knew whos wheels they make. Miroa arent bad they were quite big in the bmw scene for being low pressure cast wheel. In terms of pricing wise though spend a few more hundred you could order your self a set of forgestars. But between your choosee id go with either the miros or the niche. Although they wont be better then your oem wheel in terms of structure integrity

I think the MMR-GT1 is a great looking wheel. I love the black face with the chrome/steel lip and the chrome/steel rivets. Looks very nice on black vehicles.

My only concern is that they are a bit dated.....not that you can really put a date on style.

Also, at 20 inches and an inexpensive wheel, I bet these a a good deal heavier than your stock wheels and tires?

Also, if you like the Niche Surge, then check out his deal. These, IMO, are better looking than the Niche's.

Out of these, I prefer the Avant Garde M580.... But rims are something you shouldn't settle for or cheap out on. It's good you're doing research Save the cash for as long as you need, and drop it on something you'll love. Can't go wrong with SSR, a Work or Vossen. Good luck with your decision and post pics when you get them!
