Someday, an RS6 Avant+
The wheels are good, but not really digging the lip. However, the deep wheel will protect it from curbs, and it does look original, and not something seen every day. Good overall.

Not a fan at all of the wheels...too "ghetto" for me, looks like they belong on a Chrysler 300 or the sort. I like the idea of the black lip, but I'm just not feelin' the style of the wheels, 
. Also the rear could definitely be a bit lower. What are the widths/offsets of the wheels? But if you like them, then that's awesome. I get hated on for my gold wheels often

interesting.
I love the fitment of the wheels and tires. I think you need a subtle kit to tie it all together.

i appreciate you trying to do something different but not feeling it much at all.
i think some sporty 5 or 6 spokes would be better even if cliche

Car appears to be a journey model (ie front bumper).
Drop is fine -- I don't think the owner can go much lower, based upon how far the rear tires stick out without having to go with negative camber.
As for rim design, they are big -- I can't tell if they are 19" or 20" (definitely wide in the back) because the black lip blends with the tire in most of the pics. With that being said, I'm not sure if I would go with that type of wheel. Right now the "phantom" color that Volk Racing has out (ie GT-30 rims) look fantastic in photos but I wonder how they would appear in real life ...

Sorry, but the photos make your car look like its riding on 270/70Rwhatever.
Too much black, it looks like you're on some real thick sidewalls. Almost non-low-profile.

They're not sticking out much at all. If it were lowered properly in the rear he would be cambered at probably -2 to -2.5 or so. Unless he plans on getting a camber kit and running in spec, he would need spacers to sit flush.

Thanks for all the comments, some more than others, lol
. The pictures look totally different than in person because the tires and lip of the wheels run together but in person it is easy to tell where the wheels ends and the tire begins. Im dropped on Eibachs and I like how it is. I had my TSX pretty low on coilovers but I bottomed out so much I wanted something low, but not too low. The wheels are 20x9 up front and 20x10.5 in the rear. I also have plans to black out other things on the car. I have a black rear valence overlay and a black roof overlay to install and I also want to black out the grille and maybe the headlights.

Questions to OP:
1) Any rubbing?
2) Issues with camber?
10.5" in the rear with +37 offset ... that sounds like an aggressive fitment (for a 2nd gen G coupe). Too bad Nissan decided to go that route and limit 'deep dish' potential (compared to the 1st gen G coupes ...)
Point of reference ... OEM G37S rims:
F: 19x8.5 +43mm 225/45/19
R: 19x9 +45mm 245/40/19
