those 19in G35 rims look SICK on that GS. I don't care if they're from a Nissan. They're made by Rays and forged, so who cares. It's almost like an aftermarket rim anyways.

Where did serviceguy go?
Mostly everyone will prefer staggered for the rwd and better looks.
Same size all around is good for rotating the wheels.
Rays made these wheels for infinitis...not like they were made by infiniti.
Just make sure you replace the wheel caps with lexus at least.
I understand that wheels crossing different maker is a no-no, but these don't look too bad.
What about lowenharts being on a lexus? They're mostly for mbs.
Just don't put amgs on

As you can tell from my pic popped out the center caps because of the Infiniti logo. I really am looking for a Toyota (to match my Toyota badges ) or RAYS centercaps.

I had recently sold my set of iforged and had replaced it with G35 rims.
I dont see anything wrong with it. mine was only $250 and came with near brand new Bfgoodrich KDW NT for the rears (95% left which are worth $180 a piece)
$250 for g35 rims w/ $400 worth of tires? Cant beat that deal with a stick.
Rims are 18x8" wide front and back with 30 offsets.
But running staggered tire setup

You want to clear BBK, get L-tuned wheels, they clear BBK and made by OZ or you get the Supra TT wheel.
I hope there is no Nissan with Lexus wheels.

I care. Do you put AMG rims on a BMW M? Should we put Mustang wheels on a Vette? Should we put Buick wheels on a Caddy?

the rims you mentioned above are all pretty crappy IMHO.
fyi, mb bolt pattern is 112x5, while bmw bolt pattern is 120x5, so they wouldn't fit anyway.
in that case, you're saying it's wrong to put q45 projectors and throttle bodies onto a lexus? those are "nissan" made parts, so therefore it's a blasphemy to put them on a toyota? Ray's Engineering make rims not only for Nissan, but aftermarket as well. So by your logic, no lexus should have volks on them. Good rims are good rims, period.
And honestly, I don't think Lexus rims designs are good-looking at all. If there's one thing I can bash about lexus (myself being a lexus owner), is the rims that come with it.

i know of a few 240's that run is300 wheels. good wheels are good wheels, no matter who they are made by. and they aren't nissan wheels, they are infiniti, or rays. get it right.

Lexus deffently has some crappy designs for factoys wheels.
