Picking wheels for my friend, need opinion.

Okay okay, i lied. It's not a RX-8, but please help a brother out :P

CE28N and TE37 in the pic.


So basically I'm picking rims for my friend. Couldn't find exact pictures, but the gunmetal wheels'd be Forgestar F14, and the black wheels with red lip'd be Tenzo Type-M, Car's a a black G35.

Gonna be running 19x8.5/9 and 19x10, 245 and 275.

Price for the Forgestar with tires comes out to be 2700 and the Tenzo are 2200, these are only estimates, we haven't shopped around yet.

more pics

I would steer away from the red stripe... unless your thirsty...

But on a serious note, the red time attack stripe is kinda played out IMHO

Don't get the tenzo's, they are some of the heaviest wheels available.

Honestly I would keep looking. The CE28N and TE37 are nice but what's his budget and the need for these pricey wheels?

The red stripe theme has been played out and Tezno are some heavy entry level wheels
The F14's have popped up everywhere in the past 2 years-- nice wheel but they are becoming less exclusive

Um pico... maybe it's me.... but uh, he was thinking about Tenzo Type-M and Forgestar F14, the pics were just references for color purposes. His budget... well depends... but he wanted 19s as the G35 has big wheel arches

Eitherway, we went with Tenzo Type-M (Bronze) 19x8.5 +17 front, 19x10 +23 back. $1100 shipped wrapped with Nitto Invo 245/35/19 & 275/30/19
