Price for wheels? I think it's good.

Post by **1njen** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 8:13 am

I was looking online for some new wheels, rims, w/e, but wasnt actually going to buy any until I came across a guy who's sell a set of Forte F5 wheels for $200 ($50 each). He says ones got some curb damage but besides that, the other 3 are good. i'm going to meet up with him next week to see the condition they're in. even for 3 wheels i think it's a very good price. but then again im not sure of the quality of the brand. any ideas anyone?

what sizes? if they are 20's 8.5 and 10 i'd say do it. It depends on the size but nice price

Hmm...I'm not feeling them..

I love most Fortes, but I'm so so on those.

I honestly don't think they'll look too great with your blue G.

i really dont like the center cap, but i guess that comes off so it's okay. i need some photoshopping skills to see if it will look good.

Nice job Nate...now get a room you two!!

Yeah Mike, only because you asked, so don't think I'm hating, I agree, black wheels on a Navy blue car normally don't jive. I'm trying to like those rims... but I think you can do better brother.

yea leave the black wheels to me!

If you lose a center cap for that (it happens,,, a LOT!) you will feel bad not being able to find a replacement (or paying way too much for one)

awww no one likes em? eh, okay then. i'd have to downgrade from 18x8 to 18x7.5 anyways and i don't want to do that.

Your sig picture shows you have the stock 17s

Post by **WhiteyClay** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 3:49 pm

wow. 140 a wheel... does it come with a tire?Dude that thing looks like they came of those ricey 95 accords or civics with fart cans. PepBoys brand....Ure driving Infiniti...If your budget isnt big then leave stock rims.( stock rims cost around 700 each at the dealer) So if you looking for an aftermarket upgrade then at least 500-1000 a wheel. But I would say leave stock. All infiniti rims that come on G35 are hot....just my .2cents

Post by **1njen** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 4:52 pm

i looked up fortes and they usually run like 150 or more per wheel so they aren't too bad.none the less, i'm not down grading to 18x17.5s

500 is mad steep btw. i'd settle for some enkeis which are only like 200 each.

I disagree. Go for quality and looks. Not price. Price does not determine the other two.

Not feeling them after looking at the photoshop. You need some bigger wheels, don't go that small.

Post by **BrandAidDesignG35** » Thu Jul 03, 2008 4:06 am

They look cheap, and not suitable for the G ride, especially blue

Now, you want a nice deal on wheels?????? Ears cocked?

Nates wheels on ebay, get some nice wheels and tires mounted for under 1600, oh yeah, that's with taxes, shipping, and customs fees etc... with 20s... see sig below...

Much classier wheels, they have black, chrome, silver finish, and hyper black, very nice styles as well.

Packages range from 17 - 20 "... can't go wrong, that goes for anyone else in the market for wheels... I get lots of compliments on my ride [img=http://xs329.xs.to/xs329/08274/g35582.jpg]

Grant,

I was expecting your post to be about my horrible PS job lol.

1njen,

Go find some nice forged rims. Getting huge, heavy rims is FTL, if I get suspension in the future, I'll probably downsize to some superlight 18s for performance.

At stock height, anything under a 19 looks (The stock 18s are an exception).

Price for wheels? I think it's good.
