Seems odd to me they dont make em in 19s... but you will save some $ on rubber.

I wonder about that too. Which bolt pattern & offset would be for our coupe?

I checked the 'chceck fitment' and it says it doesn't fit 3.5 A/Cs wtf?..

I really like those too and wondered about the centercap. I wasn't sure about quality, but I haven't found any really negative threads out there about the brand. Go for it!

If you get the 18x8, I would recommend a 245/40-18.

^ no one mentioned a +40mm offset... and I dunno why you would need that specific offset.I think a +35 or +45mm offset would be fine. +35 is going to be a bit more aggressive, but on an 8" rim I don't think you will have big issues with rubbing unless your tires are wider/taller than a mid-low profile 245mm or if you are on a significant drop or have a heavy system.

Google is your friend...TireRack has them for $142 in 18x8 +45mm.They're 25lbs each, cast (Al).

I just got off the phone with tirerack. Website wouldn't list it as fittingour car so I call & the guy just kept saying it's not going to fit. That theygot the bolt patten info & a technical dept. that wouldn't guarantee theyfit or something so he didn't budge. This sucks...

EDIT: Also 1010tires.com said they're backordered in my fitment &"225/45R18 is the correct tire size."

But didnt someone recommend 245/40/R18?

^ Here's the deal on TireRack...

I spent nearly two weeks of back and forth bs with them telling me I couldn't put on the wheel/tire combination I wanted and that they couldn't guarantee it would fit. (19x8.5+40mm with 255/35 rubber)... The bottom line is that I drove my car out to their facility (about 1 hour) where they mounted and installed my setup and the techs and sales rep said it was a perfect fit. I of course knew this in advance. Their reputation is good, and this is because they are conservative with their recommendations to ensure that you don't try to buy some ridiculous setup that won't fit on your car and then try to return it. However, they're way too conservative and if you know just a little bit about what you're doing and ask around, you'll be fine.

These SportEdition SE14 wheels aren't all that, but just go with the 18x8+45 if you can't find the +35 offset. TireRack lists them in the +45mm offset as an application for your car.

Regarding what 1010 told you, trust me on the 245/40-18. Check the other forum, it'll back up my credibility in tire recommendations for our cars. Again, they want to be conservative here, but I want a tire that is wide enough for the rim. Most of the SE-R guys who upgrade tires switch to a 245/40 on their stock 18x8s, too. They might be a bit more expensive, but you'll get the look and grip you want while having a tire that doesn't expose the rim edge.

Thanks. Wish I could get OEM 18 Replicas! All day I wasdebating tire sizes in my head & I was leaning toward thatexact setup cause I'd prefer a 45 over a 40 for comfort reasons.I know bigger wheels are harsher but want to minimize it.

I'm not positive, but earlier I was researching about the center caps from Z wheels, and I'm pretty sure they are the same as on our stockers. These are G wheels though and they are replicas but they are likely still the same, I'd definitely try them before I bought new ones!

I like those replica g37s, but what I like even more is the Sport Edition F10s with black accents. From the picture I think they would look incredible on a black coupe.

$141 a piece ain't too shabby either.

On a black a/c they are only better, also, I like the real ones a bit more then the replicas anyway, the real ones seem to be a bit more curvy and have that gunmetal color to it. Either way they are both nice wheels.
