Default 19" 5-split-spokes wheels/rims: Any suggestions?

Anyone know of any decent 5-split spoke wheels that come in 19"?
I prefer something with thin spokes and gaps (between split spokes).

Please post links/pics if possible.

Thx CL members.

auto couture transform are by far my favorite in that style. but you'll need pretty deep pockets. $1,600 per wheel.

Nice posts.

I like the Vossen VF061:

about $1,400 a wheel.

.. but, I'm looking at something more "budget friendly".

Would you be interested in these? ( 19" VIP modular, 3pcs. wheel...very very nice. ) I might consider parting with them.

for budget friendly wheels, i would consider buying used. you can get high end wheels for about half price. check the classifieds here. but you might have better luck in the G35 forums. they usually have the same fitment. just make sure they didn't go too aggressive. and that's a much more common style on G35s, so you'll find more options.

btw, why are you looking for 19s? 20s look much better IMO. and you'll find a better selection if you go with used. you might be interested in something like this.

original design and craftsmanship. a lot of mid-level wheels like vossen are usually knockoffs of higher end wheels. so they save money not having to pay good designers. also, when you see them in person you can really see the difference. pictures don't always tell the whole story. i saw a set of these on a lambo and they were pretty stunning.

Couldn't be more right. If these pics are a 8 or 9 on a scale of 1 to 10, the wheels in person are a 15! Fit and finish is what you pay for.

Price difference in wheels AND tires (including replacements). Also, the ride smoothness.
