The look like the tenzo wheels. Im not trying to knock you but thats what they remind me of. They have a nice lip in the rear on the G35.

I know the saying " You Get What You Pay or" but somebody said something to me that made kind of sense. He said that in Japan unknown companies may sell their wheels for cheap b/c they are trying to make a name for themselves. So my point is that it may cost less than name brands but if they are trying to get their business off and running they have to produce a product that will be just as good in quality, wouldn't it. O.K enought blabbering. I'll shut up now.

IMHO, odd numbered spokes work best on the GS, like 7 or 9. Even numbered spokes don't have the same effect for me. I'm also not feeling the curves of the spokes, they would look better if they were a bit flatter.

I'm no wheel expert, so I'm not knocking the quality or anything like that, just giving you an opinion based on how they look in the pic to moi.

They sort of look like the g35 stock rims in Chrome except for the Huge lip in the back.. I think they will definitley set your gs apart from the rest... Good Luck can't wait to see more pics

Nice but the design is so been there, done that and at that point, I'd just get the original version, the Volks

I like 'em. I see them from time to time on ebay too. I wonder what the 'cheapness' reggiek speaks of is. Perhaps an uneven finish up close?
