Miro wheels

Yeah. Those are sweet, but multiple bolt patterns screams cheapo "tuner" wheel.

Edit. On 2nd look, that might just be an accent cutout, not a 2nd set of lug holes. (they don't look round)

If you look at their current lineup, they're all single lug pattern. I can't imagine one of them (the newest, it seems) would be multi-line, since that's not really done any more. It's too bad they don't have them available in more colors, as a set of 21 lb 19s @ 1000 bucks would be sweet, but I'm not gonna pit matte graphite wheels on a grey car.

Might give a look to Konigs flow formed wheels, they have some nice looking sets that should do well w/ your price point
Flow Formed Wheels - Konig Wheels
These are a nice look IMO and should be about the same weight as the Integrams which are 22 lbs in a 19x9.5 wheel.

Phew! I thought I was losing my mind looking at Gramlights and Work in 19" when I saw the pricing. I had a set of Wedsport wheels picked out in 18" and then I discovered I cannot get the really sticky tires in the right size for 18". Konig makes decent wheels. I actually had a set of gold Milligrams on my Evo and they were very light and strong. I wish they made them in 19" and silver.

The Konig Interform wheels are nice and light and look decent. The Hypergrams would look nice in silver, but they do not come in 19's either. The Rennforms are ok, but they don't post the weight. Were there other Konigs that you were looking at? Thanks for digging a little deeper for me. I appreciate the effort.

I still like the look of the Miros the best, just not the centercaps. I think the TSW Interlagos are a close second with their funky offsets. Still open to suggestions, but I will need to order them relatively soon for an upcoming track day.

Thanks again for all the suggestions guys!

Well after a lot of research and talking to guys who had the Miros, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set of 19's w/ some sticky Bridgestone RE-71R tires from the local discount tire. Excited for it to warm up so I can finally accelerate and corner again. Seeing the traction control light every time I graze the gas pedal is getting old

Nice! Look forward to install pics. Did you go 9.5 all around?

I went w/ 19x8.5 up front w/ 245/40 and 19x9.5 in the back w/ 275/35. They made me an offer I "couldn't refuse." Here they are installed. Somehow they make my G37 look faster

So the Miro wheels came in, but they clear the front calipers with about 1mm or less. The guy at discount tire and I agreed that these would not be a good idea to run on the track if anything flexes or moves at all. So onto plan B- TSW Interlagos 19x9 +32 up front and 19x9.5 +41 in the rear. Hopefully, with a little more clearance and a stronger rim it will be a good fit.

You could just add a small spacer to give it more clearance?

Yeah, why not run 3mm spacers, or have you already got your mind on those wheels?

Spacers on the track are a really bad idea. Plus the TSW's are a stronger wheel which will also be better on the track.
