hmm I'm looking for opinions on this, I'm having a hard time deciding.
Wheel options

#1 - G35 Rays Track front: 19x8.0 19lbs rear: 19x8.5 21lbs
Painted glossy black with same spacers (same offset)


#2 - Axis Hiro Look front: 19x9.5 23lbs rear: 19x10.5 25lbs



My concerns:
rays - not wide enough, paint finish not perfect
axis - quality, rolling fenders

Where did you get those weights from for the Hiros?

I got mine from wheelweights.net I think

I'd just stick with the G35 wheels right now till you can afford the actual rims you want.

That's why I'm just going to end up painting my wheels and putting spacers on them for now.

I personally don't like the Hiro's at all.

Ah, I'm surprised they weigh that much if its true.

Meh, like I said yesterday... I'd just wait and get what I want. Which is why I'm rolling on stocks still

edit-not to mention the problems that people have had with Axis wheels cracking.

I've done it, just no a perfect finish like I would have wished.
Though now I know more and could probably get a better job done faster.

I knew you had already done it with your stockers, I was just saying with the G35 wheels I'm sure it's a tad different.

Plus I didn't know what steps you took in painting yours and figured maybe you could try something different with those.
