the oem rays (not "ray's", but "rays" without the apostrophe - that's probably why your search came up empty) 19's actually look pretty good for oem rims.

if you plan on running these, PM me. there's a few small details you'll need to know.

i suppose this is what you're referring to?



i can see where you're coming from, but from a functional point of view it's got a lot going for it. and while aftermarket rays wheels will cost you an arm and a leg, the oem rays off the g35 cost much less than that (about 1/3 to 1/4 that of its aftermarket cousin).

but you know... to each his own, right?

those rims go for 600~800 dollars (i've seen it going up to $1,100) ..some are damaged,,,some are in pretty good condition
I've seen people selling it for 600 with tires,,no damages on rims,,but those are very rare

^ that's pretty much spot-on.

conditions will vary, as most of them will be used.
