New wheels and not really sure about them.

These wheels are Lexani Lx15 wheels. I am not sure if I am really like the way they look on my car. I would appreciate and feedback from you guys

Are you able to take them back or something?

Not my style. I like the thought of PCing the stock wheels.

Those Lexani's HAVE to weigh more than the stock Rays...

I appreciate the comments. I just needed some confirmation of what i already knew. Any suggestions of what you think would look good on a nismo?

I know you love those offsets and the aggressive fitment for your car, but for daily drivers the offsets won't be near that if they want a comfortable ride. add about 10 to the front and 15-20 for the rear.

I'm running 19x9 +24 in front and 19x11 +24 in back with ~2 degrees of camber all the way around and I wouldn't go any more in the front and no more than another 5mm out in the back.
