Default Which of these wheels look classier on the G35 coupe ?

I'm now down to these 3 choices: the iforged Rev ( 12 spoke ) or Retro ( 15 spoke ) in high polish, or the one piece forged BBS RGR in Diamond Silver finish ( I would have chosen the multipiece forged BBS RS-GT which looks almost exactly the same, but it won't fit the G35 coupe 6MT )

I like the lips of the iforged wheels & the fact that I can order them in high polish or even chrome finish, but I prefer the face design of the BBS RGR ( the similarly designed iforged Swift doesn't do it for me)

I will make a final decision within a couple of days, so your opinions will be appreciated.

The following are pics of 2 of the 3 wheels on the G35 coupe, please give me some feedback & comments to help me decide.

I love the look of the Rev in the yellow M3 pic, but they don't look as good (even look different) in other pics such as :



or this :

I was actually planning on purchasing chrome BBS RSIIs when I learned about the iFORGED Senekas. The iFORGED were much more detailed and sophisticated looking than the BBS, almost to the point of being exquisite. Once I saw the iFORGED, I knew I had to have them. My GS is silver, so I felt I needed the chrome to maximize the contrast with the color scheme of my car. It’s all truly a matter of personal taste. To me the retro is more elegant than the REV, the REV more aggressive looking than the Retro, and either of them will look really fantastic on your G35. The BBS would be my third choice, especially with the modern profile and design of your vehicle… Good luck with your poll.

I believe that the G35 is also a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Would it be possible to swap wheels from the G35 to the SC430 or vice-versa? Say you get tired of seeing the I-Forged wheels on the G35, wouldn't it be nice to put them on the SC for a month or so? Do you think it'll work?

G35 coupe 6MT bolt pattern is 5x114.3, but the offset is 30mm., G35 wheels most likely won't fit on the SC430.

I'm now leaning heavily towards the BBS RGR myself on the G35. The iforged Retro or Rev should look good on the SC430, probably match the car even better than the G35c, so it's tempting.

I' ve only recently acquired an interest in after market wheels (after I got my SC430) & I know from a previous thread here that some of you suggest that I should put a higher end wheel than the BBS CH I have on the SC430 now (& also a forged one). I'm lucky enough not to have bent a rim in all the cars I' ve owned so far(all with stock wheels except the BBS). Personally I'm quite happy with how the BBS CH enhance the looks on my SC430, but visiting this forum almost daily & seeing that some of you willing to spent $$$ on expensive rims on even 4, 5 or 6 year old cars, its tempting for me to consider possible further wheel upgrades on the SC430, which I plan to keep at least till 2006. Damn, visiting this forum is potentially damaging to your wallet !!
