You mean my rims?





They look good with 25mm spacers in the rear.

When I was shopping for rims, the 19" Rays were going for 1000$ without tires. I couldn't pass up these 18's for half price.

17's are very small but you can pull it off if your car is lowered

but if its only temporary until u find something different go for it

They will look 100% better than the stock wheels.

Definitly pick up some G35 Ray's instead for that price. Been seeing some sets sell for little as $400!! Plus they only weigh about 19 lbs

FYI, these 18's weigh 21lbs a piece. So you will probably only save 10-15lbs overall vs the real thing.

I am in the process of searching for new rims, the OEM Rays 19's are definitely now an option since the price has dropped. Paying 1K for OEM rims was crazy.
