You found a set of 19" G35 Coupe forged Rays wheels for $600? With or without tires? Either way a good deal. Though if with tires, that's a great deal.

And I think the only reason Black_SC looks just "ok" is because he has too fat of side wall on the wheels. I think a smaller side wall would make it look sooo much better.

I am going to be a proud owner of a 95' black SC400 in a couple weeks and I am defiantly thinking of going this route (cheap, simple, and classy imo).... I just want to see ONE stock black SC with these wheels and 35 series tires.. I really do think it looks amazing on this red one above.

he had worn *** tires but yea still that is one hell of a deal!

theres ALOT of sellers on Craigslist sellling stuff they dont know they have like we know rims like that run for over a G and they dont know how much they run for . So they sell for reallly cheap!

Hey Black_SC, is your car lowered or is it pretty much stock? It also looks like you have had some break work done as well. Do you think you could pm me the list of mods you have on your car (if any), its just your car is exactly the same car that I will be getting....I just really think that the G35 7 spokes look very clean on SC's imo. Maybe with very smaller wheel spacers all around....sorry I'm just brainstorming....

I just really don't want this thread to die, I think that G35 18's wrapped in 225/45/18 on a non lowered SC looks sexy, sporty, and classy all at the same time. Also, you can find these rims very cheap, I'm just saying, for the average SC owner looking at rims for better looks without spending an arm and a leg on rims could be a very good option imo. Sorry to drag this thread on, if non of y'all agree on the looks, just trying to help.

sincerely,
Clint

maybe if they were painted another color, ie bronze, would look much better.
Very clean with the drop also.
