don't spend any more money trying to make the Rays unique. You can buy some quality aftermarket wheels with the money used for powder coating and polishing the Rays.

I would say yes to the clear bra.

+10000x!!! You could have gotten really nice wheels with the money you spent on buying the g35's and then some more if you DO poslish and powdercoat them.... imo The G35's are more like bbk spare tires... i dont understand when people buy oem stock wheels to put on there car.. there not cheep right? like 800-900 bucks for a set with decent thread???

I think it's cool. For the price, I think its hard to beat a nice quality set of wheels.

You could, but they wouldn't be forged wheels. I see what you are saying, but inorder to get that kind of quality, you will have to spend more. Since he already has the wheels, might as well make them look different over oem look.

Those are staggered and run a lot more aggressive than our stock wheels. These are more aggressive than some of the after market wheels some members have on their GS'.
