Now that I think about it, having played lots of video games where you can customize your own car/body kits/WHEELS etc etc I think that it really depends on the rims that you're looking at. My 19's look good because they got that clean, thick, "infinity" look to them. But I'd have to agree that other styles may look better in a smaller size. I like the rims on that yellow 3k on the first page of this thread and they're 19's. Guess I've always been partial to the big rim look.

For example: These

would look better in 16s or 17s but

These

would look better in 18s or 19s

...IMO

hey SL3000gt... i was wondering on the pictures that you posted... the blue 3000gt', is it lowered also..or is that 19 inches with stock height??? because my 3000gt looks exactly like that, the same blue color and that is the look i am seeking for, i was going for a staggered set of wheels too,... could by any chance get the exact rim sizes, offset and the tire size,

Hmmm I will have to check with Dave on the exact wheel sizes. I think he has 245/35's in the front and 275/30's in the rear but I could be wrong. As fro suspension, it has been lowered. There is hardly an item on that car that is stock all the way down to the interior. In fact, though it looks like a 99 3000GT, it is actually a 92 Stealth RT/TT.

dang... it looks real good for a 92...lol.. i thought it was like a 98...

ive got 9s on mine too stealthee. how wide can you go w/o worrying about turning clearence? how far do your coiloveres drop it?

Stealthee · #24 10-17-2007, 06:31 PM

I could drop mine to completely tuck. As it is I am around 3/4 of an inche from the fender lip to the top of the tire.

These by far are still my favorite Volk Progressiv TEs:

I love the 6 spoke set-up. The only problem is that they only make 19s and I think 18s are perfect...
