Opinions on this wheel?

Looking to put a somewhat inexpensive set of wheels on my G37X coupe and leave them on year round. Came across this wheel that reminds me of the factory 19" sport wheels but just a little different. They are Ace Convex and I am looking at the hyper silver color. Was thinking about doing 20 x 8.5 35 offset F/R with 245/35/20 F/R. Let me know what you think of the style and if anyone could photoshop a set of this on a red G, I would appreciate it

I like the wheels and thing it would look good on a red G but I think you're going a bit conservative on the specs. You'll definitely need spacers if you're going for a more "flush" look. Why not go staggered?

You can PM SRG to chop something for you but he hasn't been around much lately...

BTW are you dropped?

Probably would want to stay with all the same size since the G is going to primarily be used in the winter. Having a big 275/285 around back wouldn't fare to well in snowy conditions. Also, will more than likely stay at stock height. My SL55 is slammed and it gets almost unbearable to drive around here with all the potholes and bad roads in the city during the summertime. In the winter it is like ten times worse. Ace makes a 20 x 9 with a 35mm offset, think that would push it out to far?

I normally don't like rims that people post up, especially 20's. I find they typically look gaudy, not clean (i.e. obviously not fitting the car), or just plain bad sometimes.

These on the other hand, I could see myself using. I'd go with 19's because I don't like a sidewall too thin, but I have to admit, I like these. Those gunmetal ones definitely have my attention.

You'd still be tucked. I'm running 20x9+32/20x10.5+42 but i could definitely go more aggressive. If you go 20x9 with Eibach drop, try getting somewhere around 30 offset for a good look.

Thanks for the information everyone! I actually have an order placed for the 20 x 8.5 35 offset but think I am going to change it in the morning to 20 x 9 35 offset. They actually have this wheel in 35, 30, 25, 20 I believe in the 20 x 9.

OB G: Do you have any pictures of your car? I would love to see how the 20 x 9 looks in the front with an even less offset. What tire size are you running on the front, 255/35/20?

Took a pic of my G37X after taking delivery of it this afternoon. Also included a few of my SL55 for your enjoyment
