That is a matter of opinion, some of us like the oem look and as far as durability and strength, aftermarket wheels are rarely as strong or durable as oem. As for design, that's all subjective, what you think is better might not be what others think. I myself prefer oem style wheels as a good compromise with design and durability. Aftermarket wheels rarely can take potholes and poorly maintained roads as well as oem ones.

I'm sure these forged rays will hold up just fine, I wasn't thinking that functionality was going to be a concern here. What ever matters more I guess lol, looking good is the risk I'm willing to take haha

Just got some 19 rays for myself too. Do you have any spacers on there? Just wondering if it'll be flush or require fenders rolled.

I have always had a special love for the styling and smoothness of 92-00 SC's.

Throughout the last several years I have owned the following:
-97 DWP SC400
-95 Black on Black 5 speed SC300 - hence the name UniqSC
-97 DWP SC300 5 speed
-95 Red SC400
-95 Red 5 speed SC300
-94 Silver Spruce SC400

My most recent SC400 is a 1999 with very very low miles. I always wanted a 99-00 SC400 and was finally able to find "The One".

I am planning on doing only mild mods like HID Lights, 1-1.5" drop, Tint, Wheels and things like that.

Below are some pics of my cars with 3 sets of wheels I have. I would appreciate it if you could let me know your thoughts on what will look better on my car.
I personally like the Rays wheels, and I think once I put the little center caps on and lower the car they will look even better.

Thanks!

Stock wheels:


Konig Heatsink 19" Wheels which I already had sitting in my garage:


OEM Infiniti G35 Rays 19" Forged wheels:
Was this sold out Florida? It had brown condensation in the right fog light.
