getting new rims and need opinions!

Hey everyone, I have a 2008 obsidian black G37S and am in the market for some new wheels...I originally had my stock wheels powdercoated gloss black and they look pretty good, but nowI want to go for a "cleaner" look with some brighter colored wheels...so what do you think of these?

RAYS VOLk SF-WINNING GUNMETAL 19"



this may be a stupid question but would I be able to mount the stock tires on the above rims? they have the same bolt pattern as stock rims and the offset is 29

20" ADR RIMS


18" STERN WHEELS


Obviously the 18" wheels are cheaper than the other two, but is it lame to go from a larger wheel to a smaller one? And personally, the volks are my favorite

anyways just let me know what you guys think! thanks

I would go with the SF's. ^^Not sure how you know his stock wheels will fit since he did not disclose the rim sizes.

Personally I'd get those gunmetal Volks but in 20 not 19. If you do go with the 19's, as long as they are the same size as OEM (19x8.5, 19x9) then yes you're stock tires will fit

Volks for quality of course, but go for 20s.

Yes its a 19" wheel but width also will determine what tires will fit. IF he were to buy 19x8.5 and 19x9 then his stock tires will fit but that is ghey. If you are going to buy new wheels then buy wider wheels that fir our cars better like 19X9 and 19X10.5 in which case our stock tires will NOT fit.

I know what you mean bro but till I rack up some more coin i'll be running on stock tires (if they fit the new wheels) for a while

btw, does anyone know if "stern" wheels are any good in terms of quality? a friend of mine just bought a set for his maxima and recommended them to me

I said he can use his stock tires if he WANTED to, might not look normal (stretched) but it can work.

Here's a 225 stretched on 9.5" rim. Doesn't look too bad
