Yep. Agreed. Gorgeous. Didn't know you were going to go all Ansel Adams on us there. I'll have to raise my bar a little and not rip off a couple in my drive with an iPhone anymore.

Can't wait, one of my favorite wheels. Should be great.

^Thank Sean! Yup, I've always liked the G35 Rays...

I got lucky and found a set for $300…I’ll get them refinished and was thinking of going with a color that I had before on my M35 wheels (refinished also) - Anthracite matte - semi gloss, and paint the center caps and lug nuts matte black. Here’s what my old wheels looked like after the new powder coating….so I think it’ll look good against my MW G.

I've been having a really hard time finding a set of 19" coupe wheels for my G37x BUT I have found several sets of the M35/45 sport 19's.

How would they look on the G37?

The M wheels look great on Gs, only downside is they're very conservative w/ offsets so you'd probably want some spacers to bring them out more.
Here's a google link w/ some on G sedans

BTW, that Anthracite w/ the matte black center cap is a nice combo, well done!

Question, why the larger spacers in the back vs. the front? Most people I see on here with the spacers and the 19 coupes go with the larger spacers on the front and smaller ones on the back.

I measured the fitment very precisely before getting the spacers and the rear needed the extra to get both front and back the same sort of flushy.

IDK. I'm not an expert, but...my wheels are a square set-up so the rear ones are not sticking out further than the fronts. Just 8.5 all the way around, not 8.5 front, 9.0 back as is more typical. Also, my G is AWD, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Makes sense. I have an appointment a week from monday to get my g37x dropped and spacers installed. I wanted to do the installation all at once even though i know it is better to put spacers on afterwards because the installer is over an hour a way and its a pain to get work done on my car. Because of this I have been trying to guage the best spacers for the look i want, which might be slightly more poked than yours. I also am running a square setup, but I am running all 9.0. I am just going to go 20mm all around. Hopefully it works, we will see.

Yeah. Poke is a person thing (that didn't sound right ) like wheels. Also, your offset will impact the look of the spacers. I'm at 43, I believe. A number of variables.


Whatever happens though, I'm sure it'll be great. Make sure to post some pics so we can all drool.

What a tough decision, while I do like the look of coupe wheels on sedans and I'm always finding deals on Craigslist for couple OEM wheels, just don't know if I want to do it. Spend $1,000 w/ tires for OEM or just spend more and get the custom look...decisions.
