Default New Red G37 Owner - Help me pick rims/wheels

I recently got my first car

A G37 Coupe, premium package, navi, not the type S though (regretting that)






And now I'm reaaaaally regretting the red even more because I want some rims, but I can't decide what would be a good match

I should've gone with a platinum graphite lol

Anyways, I can't really settle on what would look good as far as rims, all I know is that I want some 20s

Any suggestions on what rims I should be looking at?

I liked these but can't decide on the best match :



Saw some guy put the first on a white 37... Looked sexy

All chrome would probably be a bit too much right?

People keep telling me just do black rims with a chrome lip :S

Any suggestions on brands? These are fckin expensive

Of those three I would pick the first one no question.

As far as five-spokers go, I have always loved these:

It also comes in athracite (dark grey) and in chrome.

This website has those wheels and a pretty good variety of other nice wheels americanracing.com (if you go there, keep in mind while browsing that a lot of the wheels you see depicted in the pictures come in other colors/finishes).

I was just browsing and came across another cool looking five-spoker (well, kinda ten but same concept) and I thought they looked nice; they only come in all chrome though (there are similar ones available that come in other colors).


Come to think of it, those look a lot like the wheels you have now--I sort of just assumed you had the 6MT for some reason.

i dont mean to come off as an ass, but all of the wheels posted so far would look very tacky on a G. especially the black mustang wheels (wtf?!?)

look into Sevas. they are good quality and respectable wheels. here are some color matched on a red 35. i would just leave them silver though...

Those Mayas are nice. I have a different set of Mayas on my red G35. I prefer silver only on a red G. Black, chrome, and gold are other options, but I still prefer silver and maybe something with a chrome lip, but not spokes.

Don't reget buying a red car. It's the sexiest color.

BTW, G35 rims do not fit well on the G37. The offsets are different, which means the G37 rims won't have as much of a lip as the G35 rims.

Take your time and look at a lot of rims. You'll find one that will be a fit for you.

Shelby wheels do not look nearly as tacky as RED wheels (wtf?!?).

I don't like the wheels being painted red either buy the wheels themselves are nice. Why would you put mustang wheels on an infiniti?

if i were you nica.. figure out the budget, whats the total out of pocket you want to spend, including tires, to put you some 20s on that red ride?!? eliminates many of your options.. soldierboi would be happy to know American Racing wheels, im sure, would be on the low end of the spectrum and still on your list SUPAMAN DAT HOOOOO

^ The offset on those rims is waaay off. That is what can happen with G35 wheels on a G37.

Wheels that stick out and have super stretched tires aren't a good combo IMO.
