Definitely not in 19's. Maybe 18's. They look like a nice wheel but what is the weight/offset, etc.

By the way you might want to try posting this in the wheels forum next time. Maybe a mod can move it for you.

19 is too big. We don't drive G35s.

They look decent. But never go 19's on our cars. 17's and 18's to keep it decent looking.

Dont get 19's!!!!! I have 19's on mine...I bought it from he dealership like that...and it is a pain...freaking tires are so damn expensive and they are heavier..I just bought some 18 Enkei's and I am waiting for them to arive. The 19's dont lok bad but its not convenient.

19's are too big imo but 18 in white would look good

How ironic, I saw these on a mustang earlier and wondered why they were on there instead of an import, lol.

I think they look nice, but (like everyone else said) I wouldn't get them in 19's. 18's would look nice, but I think 17's and a drop would look perfect.

18s are as high as I'd go. I'd stay away from ADRs though--they're heavy as a brick. Spend a bit more for some better quality rims IMO.

yeah the type r rims are a little too much money right now.. i just got a new apartment and my rent is hella high right now i got a very good quote from a place in Brockton Ma on these wheels. they are $115 each for 18"s in white or silver. i think the white will look awesome on my fbp coupe..
