Choosing 18x8.5 wheels for g37x - Need Advice
So after spending about a month researching, I've narrowed down my search to three wheels that I find will look appealing on my g37. I did a lot of thinking about getting 19" but in the end the drop wouldn't work well with the roads/area I drive in..
These are the finalists:
Rays 57xtreme: Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Rays Gramlight 57Xtreme Wheel - 18x8.5/ 5x114.3 / Offset +33
Forgestar F14's (18x8.5 +35 offset): Forgestar Wheels Custom Rotary Forged Flow Formed Concave Performance Wheels - Forgestar F14
Enkei GTC01: Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Enkei GTC01 18x8.5 / 5x114.3 / +35 (hyper black)
I feel that these three would look good in 18" without a drop ... Now the tough part is choosing which one. I'm honestly stumped, and I cannot decide!
I've searched around and found a few pictures for the GTC01's in 18" on a g37 but I can't find any for the other two in 18" on a g.
I know choosing a wheel can make or break the look, therefore I'm looking for opinions, advice, feedback, etc. on how of these wheels might look on my black g37x (picture for visual reference)
Thanks!

I'd give a look at these Work Emotion in 18x 9.5 if you want a bit more tire that is
Bronze would look sweet!

Those look pretty nice! Especially with the 9.5 width and deep concave. What offset and tire size would you recommend for the 18x9.5? I see they have +30 and +38. With the 9.5 width, I wouldn't get any rubbing or issues with a square setup on an X?

So the 5mm relief won't cause any rubbing at full lock? It doesn't seem like a lot of space? (correct me if I'm wrong). Those WedsSports look really nice too. Hmm decisions...
So I know you can't use OEM lug nuts, what set would you recommend blnewt?

Might get in touch w/ Jason at GetYourWheels, seems to be running some nice deals on Weds, and if you look at a few posts above this one you'll really see how nice & concave they are, and those 9.5s only weigh about 20 lbs.

Here's one more photo that may interest you, it's a square 19x9 +30 without any suspension drop, this will show you how those 9.5 +38s on a 245 will fit at the fender at stock height, the 9.5s will actually be a bit over 1mm inside from these so just about identical fit with just a fingernail more wiggle room, lol.

Good Luck
