I just bought those rims... 19s... they're forged with good tires for 400$the guy wanted to get rid of them cuz he down sized his to 18s.He just basicly called me and told me to come there and rape him along with his wife.... cuz i still I cant believe I bought them for 400$...here are some pics of them on my car.....(perfect condition, No scratches nor curb rashes, just like brand new from the box)rear 245/40/19 front 225/40/19

What you guys think..The tires still have at least 70% of life left....

looks awesome my friend. Im hoping my 2008 G35 sport sedan wheels dont give me any issues on my 2004 G35 sedan. I suppose to be getting them mounted this Friday coming. I will be running 235/50/18 with a 45mm offset in the front and 255/45/18 with a 50mm offset in the rear. Your 19's look awesome. Mine will be the 7 spoke slit rim off the 2008 sedan, got a steal off of ebay, got all 4 for $650.

Man those look good. Why did he want to down size to 18's?? Just doesnt make sense to me. I want at least 18's maybe even 20's when its time for new wheels.

Because 19s rape you every 15k-20k miles. Most 20s are less expensive than comparable 19s.

Fuel economy and usable power are also better with 18s than 19s (comparable rims!!!)

This dude said that he's driving 70 miles to work everyday each way(140 a day) with the car so he went with comfort (smother ride) and he said that tires will cost him a fortune since he puts 36,000 miles every year.

Makes sense, thanks fellas.

I guess I never gave it much thought since I live about 7 miles from work and only put about 10,000 miles a year on my cars.

gotta love a good deal ... the rims look sweet man. I really want to get some coupe rims for my sedan, and I eventually will, but there are other things higher on my priority list for now
