Default wheel selection

Recently purchased an 06 blue and want to replace stock wheels with a 5 spoke 19 in staggered set up. need suggestions on a good wheel around 600 or less bucks each.

Good luck with your quest. I've spent countless hours looking at wheels for a car I haven't purchased yet. The two wheel styles I like most are on on Jeff's (jsl757)and Mark's (da-bizket) cars. Unfortunately, both are discontinued and finding anything close has proven to be a real challenge unless you want to shell out $1000 to $1500 a piece for a set of Wald's.

for that budget, i would suggest you search the used wheels forum. you can find high end wheels in good condition that originally sold for $1000+ each for about half price. also try searching the classifieds on G35 forums. they have the same offsets more or less. if you find some you like, post the offsets here and someone can tell you if they'll fit without fender mods.

Spyder G's from Lexus $1200 for the set. Can't beat 'em.

+1 on the Spyder G's, most wheel for the money!

the g-spyders aren't 5-spoke. they aren't 19 inch. and they aren't staggered. so they might not be what he's looking for

i'd check here: http://g35driver.com/forums/19-inch-fs-usa-304/

a lot of G35s have that type of setup. i'd also check the wheel classified on here. but you'll find fewer wheels with the correct offsets.

Sewel will sell you a staggered set of G-Spyder's in 18".
For your budget, you could get the "chrome" ones.
