there we go!

i personally like the g37s more but your gonna want to run a a 45 series tire if not a little taller without the drop. if your planning on dropping it i'd do the g37s, if not, keep the stockies

What springs/struts/coilover have you selected? How much do the wheels weigh? What kind of deal are you getting with replicas over originals?

the g37 17's are 23.6 and the 18's are 25.8. Not sure of the 19's or the other wheels

Neither of them really do anything for me, but I do think the G37's would look much better on the car. The other rims are just too dark and might look a little funny.

I like 1 on the G, but I'm partial to 2 on the Max. Coilovers FTW.

Not a big fan of the 2nd type. The 1st type are not bad, I had thought about the g37's before.

Definitely drop first.. honestly i voted for the 2nd one but that was before i saw the car.. Your safer getting the replicas. The 2nd set is hit or miss really. Its either it will look hott!! or be a complete disaster being that the car is dark and the set of wheels are dark and shiny. By those images we can't tell if the scheme will coordinate so you would have to judge. I still like the 2nd one though. I have a Gold max with a black scheme so it would probably go well with me but being a black car its..

18's or 19's? I like the replicas better... They will preserve that clean slick look. But yeah maybe you should consider a flush drop first. Just by curiousity, How much are the replicas going for?

So, if the consensus is for wheel #2, does that mean that's the one you're going to buy?
