One of the best deals would be the 1st generation G Coupe 19 wheels, these are made by Rays, and are strong & lightweight forged wheels. These can be found in the $600 to 800 range. Stock X sedan rims are in the 26lb range give or take. Here's the rims I'm talking about

I would love to have oem looking rims!!!! I want it to look stock on the outside if possible. But honestly the modding sickness has taken over and i'm literally almost more interested in what gets best performance .

How much do those rays weigh? What about 370z rims?

370z rims are also nice setups, but for your AWD you'd have an easier time just running a square 245/40/19 setup on those G35 rims (they have a minimal 1/2" stagger so you can run the same size tire all around without issue). The z rims you'll have to run a compatible staggered combo and drop your car pretty low to look proper, otherwise you'll get some poke. Both of those sets WILL clear Big brakes too, if that's on your list.

the rays that are pictured weigh 19lbs for the front 21lbs for the rear. I have these rims for my sedan and the offsets are almost perfect. I think they are +33 in the front and +30 for the rear. also, they look great on the sedan! got mine for 600$.

Yes eventually they are. Whats the best inch rim for handling/drag with our gs?

Also so all 4 tires have to be the same width? Cant run fat tires on the rear?


Sorry if these are dumb questions

The question is: where does one obtain such an item? I have been on the hunt for BBK clearing OEMs with no luck.

Not sure my searches are in the right places...but I am usually pretty good at that.

I have them on my car and love how it changes the feel.

I like the look, I think maybe if I found another set, I could run rears all around and have a more flush look in the front.




The bottom is my MS Paint of what it would look like lowered a bit.

I'm the opposite, I love the way the fronts sit on my car. Eventually I'll swap them around so they're my summer wheel instead of winter wheel.

Sedan or Coupe?

The Sport Coupe 19's are the go-to OEM replacement wheel on the sedan.

The Sport Sedan 18's are not. Haha, not even a little bit.
