***Got new wheels on!***
Nothing too special (G35 coupe wheels), but I love them nonetheless
I love the styling (except it doesn't have a fat lip). The wheels (18.5lbs each) + the Goodyear F1 GS-D3s (24 lbs each) give a total
unsprung weight savings of 38lbs! I can't really say I feel it in acceleration but definitely in the corners. Feels lighter on its feet.
Specs:
19x8 +30 on 235/35/19
19x8.5 +33 on 255/35/19
Onto the pics (sorry for the quality):

Looks alright, but maybe spacers in the back?

Yeah, some people have run 15mm in the front and 25mm in the rears. I might do that later.

Hmm, might try that, or photoshop it first to see what it looks like.

Looking good. I think that you will be pleased with the overall performance of the tires.

Looks really sweat on the Z. However, too stock looking on the G. About time you installed them.

Oh yeah, big thanks to Houston G who I purchased them from. I recommended anyone to purchase from him if he's selling anything you're interested in. Wheels were in perfect condition just like he told me when I inquired.
And I agree; these actually look kinda small on a G. 20's fit the G better, whereas you can get 19's on a Z, and they look nice.
Thanks for all the props. I will post daytime pics once I clean her this weekend.

I can see where you're coming from with the spokes, but
