Default 370Z 19" rays on ISx50?

Anyone ever tried these wheels on an ISx50? I'd like to see how it looks.

I'd like to see it too. I've seen the GS guys do it. Never an IS though.

The wheels indeed are very Nissan; the styling has nissan written all over it but that doesn't mean they don't look nice and that ISx50's can't run them.

The rears are 19x10 +30 which is a very sweet size for those who don't want to go ridiculously aggressive and the fronts would fit no problem. Not sure about those running IS-F sport BBK but the fronts are 19x9 +47. The rears are very concave.

Those wheels are extreamley similar to the IS wheels.

Personally, I was thinking of these wheels:

One downside is that they say NISMO right on them.

The NISMO ones do look pretty sick on a 370, which were the ones I originally thought the OP was looking for in the first place. The other set of rims are quite similar, but the Nissan one looks better IMO because it has more in the design within each spoke.

Yeah, I wasn't referring to the NISMO ones. I do feel the 370Z ones look better than the ISx50 even though they are similar.

For me that's the point. I like the stock wheel however I wish it were in a 19" size and had more of a "concavityness" (yes new word I created) to em. And since I don't want to spend over $600 on a set of wheels cause I'm not rich but just want to pretend to be, a set of 370z 19" wheels can be had for $500 in used condition.
Lastly, they're not heavy. And have decent offsets too.

19x9 +47 front 23lbs
19x10 +30 rear 23.8lbs


Also, take a look at how well the genesis coupe 19's look on our cars https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-oem-look.html

Over on my350z.com/forum
Note these are the 19's that come off the non nismo 370z. The nismo 19's are crazy expensive. More concave too.

Can someone really tell me if it will fit with mild Tanabe drop (1")? I don't want to roll the guards, i'm scared of the rubbing given the tire sizes.

i was thinking about this recently
it looks like stock but wider and better
if you want a stock look, then go for this but the "nismo" part sucks
you can put body filler and paint it
