Newbie: Rims for my G37
Hey everyone,
im still learning how to use this whole thing i've been reading everyones post since about july of 2009. I got a 2008 g37S in July, and have been looking to make a few improvements. I don't have the thousands of Dollars to drop on a car so please dont mention any add-on's that are going to cost me an arm and a leg. I do realize that i want to get rid of my stock rims,and i'm looking for a rim shop in the L.A./Orange County area (562), or a website online that has a good deal on rims. I want to keep the 19"'s and not go to 20's from what i've heard about speeding on 20"rims on the L.A./O.C. Freeways.....basically so i can still run my car kinda hard, but i'd like to get away from the stock look.....
I realize that with about 300 dollars to spend i'd have to wait for income tax returns :-) , but i was also thinking about putting a cold air intake....now i've read the reviews, but i really want to understand what my car would feel like with an intake system....
if someone has some good ideas with about 500-1000 bucks please let me know.....as for the rims/tires....anything would help...
thanks everyone

Wheels will at least be in the 1500 range. Intake is always an option, or you can save up for wheels.

I may have some 20mm spacers for sale soon, if you're would be interested as well. It will make your 18s flush with the fenders.
Do you have a coupe or sedan?

I'd do springs, spacers, and find you a nice set of stock 19's on that budget.
You get what you pay for with aftermarket wheels imo.....so why not just find you a nice set of take offs. There listed on here pretty regularly....
You could even go as far as some overlays for the heads and tails as a cheap mod that will set you apart from others
