Doesn't matter.

19" g35 rims are a step down from the 18" Rays you had.

I think the car looks great on the factory Track wheels. Those G35s 19s don't really look good on a 350z IMO.

I'm not really that big a fan of the 19" rays in the Z, but they look good black... IMO, I think spacers would make it look better... Over all I like your ride...

painted stock wheels always fail. it just screams "i want not-stock wheels, but am too broke to actually buy aftermarket wheels, so i'll just paint another car's stock wheels a different color and hope no one notices" really loudly and all in one breath

OR you could have plenty of money to buy aftermarket rims but like the Stock RAYS wheels? Just my 2 cents. I've always liked my 18 inch Rays Track wheels.

should have spent all those money on some decent aftermarket wheels. body kit and stock wheel = don't match. I have a feeling you're going to get bored of those g35 wheels really soon.
