Thanks for your pic. The BBS LM looks awesome on the bimmer.

I've used the wheels on your pic to do a crude photoshop on a white G35 coupe, and I think it should look great.

The BBS probably aren't available in a 'perfect' offset for the G35 coupe- a standard 19x8.5 +38 (for example) looks very 'tucked' on the Coupe, the offset would look better in the high 20 range on this car.

For this reason, I would probably go with something made-to-order. Also, most custom-built wheels can be had in whatever finish you desire and should take about three to four weeks to have made.

Still haven't decided yet, and I'm in no hurry.

I'm now also considering the BBS RS_GT, but what I like about the iforged is that they're all custom built.

Agree........I think spoke wheels will look better than mesh wheels on G35 coupe.

I like the 18" OEM 7 spokes wheels just fine,& if I want an extra set of wheels, I want a significantly different look, & I think mesh wheels looks good on the car in its own way.

By looking at the pictures, BBS looks better.

I've yet to find a pic of the iforged Senekas on a G35 coupe that depicts them really well. The one posted above are only with the 18" & are not shot very well. They do look good on a 350Z with 19" as shown below :



Pricewise, I tend to lean towards the iforged because here in Canada, for BBS wheels, the dealers have to go through a Canadian distributor who buys the wheels from the USA distributor, whereas for iforged, we have a local dealer that can custom order directly from USA. Thus, while the iforged Seneka cost slightly more than the same size BBS LM in the states, they actually cost $150 less per wheel in Canada.
