will I get banned if I get some finiti rims???? Please let me stay!!!! I have been seeing them on Craigslist lately for a lot cheaper than some cheapo ebay rims and I am looking for 18's NON-staggered for simpicity and ride reasons. I will NEVER enter my car in a show and I like the look of stock ones. I want to MILDLY mod the car with probably (flame-suit on) 1" lowering springs and 18X8 or 8.5 all around so I can rotate. (takes off flame suit but still looks around cautiously)

i like them over our stock GS 5 spoke wheels. I would pickup a set if I had the extra $ and just replace the center cap.

I think these look great on my Millenium Silver GS. Also they are a cheap solution to clearing big brake kits

if they had clean center caps it's no biggie to me. I still like the oem 17 inch 5 spokers more though.

I was on the fence with G35 and M35/45 wheels. I think those wheels look sick but I went with 18" 06+ GS430 wheels. Those are the only 18" that look good to me. The RX330 wheels are too narrow. I know some people like me don't have tons of money to blow on a nice set of wheels. I don't think there is anything wrong with running G35 or M35/45 wheels. If you can shake off the haters then go for it. I kind of wish my 18" 06+ GS430 wheels were more aggresive like the G35 wheels.

Can you Neo300 or anyone else post some pics of there g35 19's wheels on there gs. I could only find one pic of the 19" G35 wheels on a gs.

I'm thinking of purchasing these wheels and would like to get an idea of what it would look like.
