Still thinking of flow formed wheels as per recommendation as they are much stronger and lighter. Any recommendations? I am thinking of ACE or Rohana. Matte Black 19x8.5 size so that i can put 245/45 19 or 245/40 19.

please suggest.

Kali, sorry to hear about that. I'd run a 245/40/19 all around as this is the closest to your OEM diameter.
That said, here's a few that you might look at that have a similar design to the Miligram.
Here's TSW Interlagos in matte black, a 19x9.5 +41 would be a nice flush fit on 245/40/19s.
19x9.5 TSW Interlagos Matte Black (Rotary Forged) Wheels
Rohana and Ace are both decent options if they have the flow formed versions in the style and finish you want.
And I'd give a good look at these, member Ape Factory is running these on his coupe and would fit well on your sedan, and are light weight, and priced very well!

I'd send a PM to Ape Factory, he does extensive research on all his purchases so he'd be a good source. Also, they only weigh 23 pounds for a 19" wheel w/ many spokes so I'd have to assume they are a flow formed wheel, a regular cast set like that should weigh in the 27 pound range or more. Buddy Club is a reputable wheel brand w/ a good racing heritage, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Thank you again, i agree with you.

definitely will check with couple of dealers here about buddy club flow formed wheels. now seems like i am narrow down two wheels between Buddy club & SSR Wheels.

Need your inputs on SSR and below GTV02 wheel.
SSR Wheels - SSR GTV02
.

Thank you again.

If you've got the budget for the SSR I'd consider the ones that Zahy Matar is going to run. He's going w/ the Nissan 370x factory Nismo wheels, these are a true forged monoblock wheel from Rays, these are made in Japan, are lighter weight, and stronger than flow formed. These won't require any hub ring adapters and you can use your OEM center caps & lug nuts. They are a 19x9.5 +40 so perfect for a 255/40/19 tire, and that offset will be perfect flush fit at the fenders. Here's his posting
https://www.myg37.com/forums/build-t...ml#post4128200
And a link for the wheels~

And the 2013 Nismo solid gunmetals also 19x9.5 +40 (good vendor BTW)

Can't argue the look of the SSRs, I'm just trying to make this choice even harder than it already is for you, lol.
I'll see if I can find a few more choices that will keep your head spinning, lol.

Here's the Forgstar CF10, these have many color options and the offsets are cut per order so you can get exactly what you want. I'd contact Jason or Josh at Getyourwheels.com if you like these, they can get any Forgestar you want

Might be something you like here too~

You're too kind.

Forgestars are a great choice darckchap. Rotary Forged/Flow Formed wheels at a great price and you get the options of any color they offer in their list of standard finishes!

Although they may not have an awesome brand name like SSR, Work, and Volk, at least you won't have to wait couple months for a replacement wheel(s) with Forgestars if something ever bad happened.

All 3 are quality choices, the top 2 Enkeis in a +35 and the SSR in a +30 offset, all on 245/45/18 tires. The SSRs will be 5mm further out toward the fender vs. the 2 Enkeis.

Your current 17x7.5 +45 as a reference, the Enkeis will be 12mm out for the width and 10mm out for the offset for a net 22mm out toward the fender from your current wheels and the SSRs 5mm further out than that, both will be a nice fit.

Now it's up to you to get it to one choice

Those would be a notch below the SSRs as these are low pressure cell cast, so the weight will be higher for the same strength. The spokes don't extend to the outer edge of the barrel, IMO it looks better when the spokes go all the way out, but that's just my opinion Niche Essen might be worth a look if you like the RC10s.
