Default Which Wheel

Everyone else does it so I thought I would try getting wheel advise. I'm gonna put some 20's on the G35 and these are the ones I'm consifering. Everyone needs to know I like multi-piece wheels but won't buy them because of peer pressure. I'm not hung up that way. The negatives are the length of time to build them and the babying they require. The extra expense doesn't sit that well with me either. They do look good though. Money isn't the problem but I am sort of cheap. Here's my choices:

Lexion 203


R1 Racing Hype


Axis Shine


iForged Aero

Reg, I like your choices of wheels but the Lexion's look like the Sevas IMO.. Since the G is going to be driven everyday just about the inexpensive choice i think would be the Axis Shine.. The R-1 isn't a bad choice either anf the iforged can be kind of pricey.. Looks like a hard decision to make..

Hmmm...I like the look of the Axis shine, the contrast between the silver and grey looks really cool.

Mainly, I want to give chrome a break. Still like it but it's time for a change. I'm not leaning toward any of these. I like them all. I saw the Axis Shine in person and the pics do it no justice. Same for the R1. If the Lexion 103 came in 20, that would be my first choice but not this 203. I have always liked the Aero but not sure about it.
I saw the R1 on a G35 at NOPI and I can't stop picturing it in my mind. Maybe it will emerge the victor. The iForged are nicely priced forged wheels and that's hard to omit. What is a brother to do?

How long does it take to get them? Do they vibrate in the rain, like most multi-piece wheels? Any glitches in customer service? Are there any problems and are they worth enduring?

Personally, I think their customer service sucks... I've dealt with them on numerous occasions and even when trying to check on an order, it's always "leave a message, someone will call you back"

then no one calls back, ever...

but they build a decent product... (except the one wheel that was scratched inside the box new, that they denied)

As stated in the original post, money is not an issue. I just see more downside than upside to spending 4K and up on wheels. Basically, the only 2 reasons are that look and bragging rights. Since a good choice of wheels closes the gap in the looks dept the only thing left is bragging rights. That's not enough for me to spend that much when there are other mods I want. So 3K would be my limit by personal choice.
