I'm on Infinity M45 Sport wheels and the Lexus TPMS sensors fit just fine.

The 19" stock G37 wheels look pretty good and have always caught my attention when I see a G37 coupe parked, but personally I would only go this route as a low cost alternative to aftermarket wheels like Volk or Work if the price was right.

However, I do think they look better than any stock Lexus wheel, including the 19" F-sports, but if they're pricey, it wouldn't be worth it.

What's the best pricing for the 19" G37 wheels and how much do they weigh?

considering that most similar-sized offerings from rays engineering or work are priced past the $2500 mark, these oem rims are very cost effective.

if you get the oem rays engineering 19" wheels (they have "forged" stamped on the outside lip of the rim), they weigh just as much as the 2is oem 18's if not lighter.

on the flip side, you will take some heat for running infiniti rims...

(i think i should know a thing or two about that. )

But what about the newer style 19" G37 wheels? Who makes them, weight, and how much?

These are the wheels I was referring to.

around $1000 for a set with good tires and tpms. if youre lucky, you can find a set of just rims for ~500. the g37 19" rims are much heavier than the g35 rays 19" rims. the g35 rays 19" rims are 19lbs front and 21lbs rear. the g37 ones should be at least 22lbs+ for each i would think they are around 25lbs though but i am not sure

For real? If that's the case, they look like a winner to me! Are you talking about NEW wheels w/ tires + TPMS for $1000? Is this through the dealer or are you talking used? If so, I may seriously consider these wheels.

Anybody know who makes these wheels? I didn't come up with anything through a Google search.

I'm just tired of spending several G's for wheels & tires. I had Volks on my 97 Supra TT, and they cost an arm and a leg with tires. I want to avoid that this time around, especially since I don't plan on keeping my 350 too long.

Also, if even if they do weigh 22-25lbs, it's still lighter than the stock 18's at 28-30 lbs staggered. I'm down for that, if that's really true.

Anybody know who makes these wheels? I know Enkei make the stock Lexus 18's, but what about these?

Do you have the G37 19's on your car? If so, do you have any pics? Also, where did you buy them from and how's your experience with them? Any slack for having Infiniti wheels on a Lex? What did you do about the center caps?

My fault player. I somewhat like the 19" Fsport wheels, just don't love them. I'm just not a personal fan of 5 star wheels. Not trying to hate, but to me 5 stars kinda have a 1990's vibe to it. It's my personal opinion so please no player hation for my personal preferences, for those who own these wheels please!

Also, I would prefer the wheels to be a regular silver color instead of the grayish look. But I do like the fact the the Fsports are forged, extremely lightweight and made by BBS. The performance aspect of those wheels are top notch, which is a major priority for me in choosing wheels.

And I've been looking and researching wheels what seems like forever!

^ you're unlikely to get the cheap through infiniti dealers. you'll have better luck if you search through infiniti/G35/G37 forums. they'll have come off a car, but if you look around enough you'll find a "used by in new condition" set for less than what the infiniti dealer will ask for them.
