Default Suggestions on new wheels

Here's my shortlist for my G35 Coupe:
- 19 OEM RAYS
- 18 Work Meister SR2 (will need spacers)
- 19 TSW Bremma (just because of the good lip )

Also what do you guys think of Konig? They've been around for a long time but not sure if their wheels work ok on G's.

No one ever bought wheels because someone else said they were cool. Buy what suits your budget and needs.

I get the feeling a lot of guys on here have bought wheels because someone else said they were cool. Call me a pessimist.

I agree with everyone else. You need to get what fits the budget and style. I personally have been very pleased with the Volk brand.

Bah I'm neither asking which one is "cooler" nor which wheel fits my budget. If I were to go with public opinion I'd *have* to buy Volk!! which I'll never do because I don't like their looks (no offense to Volk owners ) I like solid looking, non-chrome non-colored wheels -don't care if it's performance or not.

Like I said I have already gone through a thousand different wheels and have narrowed my choices to those 3, according to my budget and interest. I mainly want to know if for example one of the wheels on my list is known to crack or bend (especially on cars with sport suspensions), or if another one is overly heavy, or what would be the deal if I were to go with 60+ offset and use spacers. Also I want to hear from people who own/owned one of those wheels. G and Z both welcome.
