Help me pick my new wheels for my G!!! PLZ

Right now I currently have a 07 G35S with the stock sport wheels with 225/50 fronts and 245/45 rear Potenza S0-4s. I am looking to get a more aggressive looking style wheel, preferably 19" if possible but will settle with an 18" rim if it fits the look really good. My two favorite rims are the IPL G37 wheels and IS-F style wheels but the cost ratio for those to get on my car are way out of my budget.*

Here is my G:




I currently have two 370z Rays rims that are 19x10 rears that I am selling instead of getting the two front wheels. I am doing this because buying the two additional front wheels will cost a minimum of $800 alone.


I have 370z front springs which lower it and OEM sport springs on the back but I do not plan to lower my car anymore so please take that into consideration when choosing the wheels.

Here are the options!



#1 18x8.5/18x9.5




#2 18x9/18x10




#3 19x8.5/19x9.5




#4 19x9.5/19x10.5



#5 19x8.5/19x9.5

I vote for the GT-R DBA's or IPL's. Another forum member is selling his for a good price:

Those aren't the real DBAs...they're a rep which is only 18s
I say the real option #1 is IPLs...in which I vote that as well. They will be well worth it over any cast wheels...probably weigh less than any of those 18s too.
#2 option belongs on a vette, 3-5 are played the eff out.

For this G im trying to stay at $1000 and under for my wheels so sadly my 370z 19x10 Rear Rays I currently have and IPLs are out of the budget. These are my main options I can afford an like unless other people have some good affordable suggestions. I do think those 18" replica DBAs could look pretty well even though they arent 19" due to color and shape.

Slartibartfast I appreciate the response man! What makes you Giddy? Main reasoning is this G will only be with me for a 1 year, year and half tops. I "plan" on getting a manual G37 sedan or Q50s next but just in case I get a car that I can't swap the rims onto or looks good I can't invest too much you know? I am just tired of rolling around on the stocks lol

Your stock wheels are fairly rare for me so that's what I like the most of the wheels you posted.

Yep, those split spoke 18s are pretty classy, you could paint them a gunmetal, that would give you a different look but still very good IMO.

If you're only will to spend 1k...put that money towards other mods (suspension or bbk) or save another 500 to get something of higher quality...trust me there are many deals out there. Look through my posts here...lots of quality wheels to choose from.

The one thing connecting you to the road is not the area to be cheap...even on a budget. You're better off keeping those stocks and painting a different color.

I actually wasn't aware that $250 a wheel was cheap tbh. Buying used wheels I would be lucky to find a good set of IPLs or 370z front rays, even the coupe 19" wheels. Sadly I've looked into the 20" gtr wheels and with the offsets I would have to run all 4 on the front wheels as back wheels are too wide with the stock offsets and rim width. That's why I was looking into the 18" ones as they're wider than my stock rims to run some wider rubber yet will still fit.

As far as suspension is concerned I am done with that on my car as far as mods go. I currently has 370z nismo front springs, KYB shocks/struts, eibach sway bars and whiteline endlinks already.

I found this G with my sport wheels powdercoated


However I really do like the 18" DBAs due to the extra width, my 225/50/18s have a bloated look on my front wheels and it bothers me ha.

Does anyone know of people with those specific 18" DBAs replicas? I really like them but did some research on replica style wheels and found some info regarding the questionable quality and durability and like Venom said I would hate to have a wheel bend and cause vibration let alone break on me while driving.

I'll make it simple...SAY NO TO REPLICAS
Try these...
fs or ft: 19x8.5 5x114.3 Volk Ce28 Wheels, Clear BBK
SSR GTV02 18" + Michelin Tires - Japanese Wheels like Rays GramLights
Volk GTC 2-piece Wheels 18x8.5

These are superb quality for STUPID cheap

Damn Venom you're pretty damn good at finding those deals, those are a f***ing steal! I think as of now im probably going to your guys advice and get mine powdercoated liquid graphite for now unless I can find a deal like that after I sell my two 370z Rays first. Do you get notifications on those or just good at searching
