New Red G37 Owner - Help me pick rims/wheels

[Nica]

Wow thats the name of those on that white car?

I really want something nice, so I'd be willing to go as high as 5k for wheels + tires

[Gilley]

It is very easy to spend $5K on wheels and tires if you want to.

What's the big deal about putting shelby wheels on an Infiniti? Are you people really that obsessed with labels that you would avoid something that might otherwise be nice just because of its name?

a) that's not the right style of wheel for this car
b) to most people, that wheel screams ford mustang. i can't even imagine it on the g. i know it will fit, but seriously, why do you think it would look good or even 'right'??

The fact that it "screams mustang" has nothing to do with how good it actually looks. If the mustang never had these wheels (they are not called rims), I guarantee you would have a completely different opinion.

wheels, rims... is there a difference? let's not split hairs here, this is a forum for God's sake.

as i said before, those are not the right style of wheels for a G coupe. i do like those wheels, but they would look horrible on the G. there are a lot of wheels that i like but would never consider putting on my car. if you like them so much, buy them and put them on your car but i've yet to see anyone speak up and agree with your opinion...

I hope he does get those rim....err I mean wheels and posts some pictures. now that would be funny.

a good rule to go by is to use wheels from the same country the car was made. japanese wheels on japanese cars, german wheels on german cars, american wheels on american cars etc.

My wheels were made in Japan.
