Opinions on these wheels

[Spec2 Girl]

I'm seriously thinking of getting these wheels (18"). What does everyone think. Would they look good on a white car?



Any other suggestions on wheels would be helpful too.

I've always thought dark wheels on whit cars looked pretty hot, especially on a skyline.

Those would look sweet! On that white Skyline in your sig right? Definitely badass!

[kittedb18bt]

yes, they would look great. how much do they weight? offset, width? what kinda tires do u want? i love white cars.

Black Racing P1?

i love those wheels...

and yes, black wheels on a white car =

i love it! go for it Speccie, it'll look the muttz nutz.

I’m going to say they’ll look ok but not all that great. I’m a big fan of chrome rims on white cars. I know the chrome is a bit heavier, but it looks real sweet.

Some folks do like the dark rims, but I think they just look out of place. But, to each their own.

Speccie...

Some observations...

18 inch rubber hoops are hopelessly overpriced in kiwiland - and given the spec of your vehicle I'd be looking at premium hoops. I've seen a number of tests (and had tested a few different tyres myself) and skimping by buying a no-name brand is defeating the purpose of purchasing an ultra high performance tyre. I'm running a combination of S03s and SportContact 3's and when the SportContact's are due for replacement I'm looking at over a grand for two 205/50/W17 S03s...

The other thing about 18 inch wheels is the addition of unsprung weight compared to say a 17 inch with a higher profile - and also ride quality. I'm getting older and while I don't expect to be running around on a cushy cadillac platform I don't expect my fillings to be rattled driving down the main street...

I say go for it! Those would look sweet

[SuPeRcAr_MaN]

No matter if you get these in 17" or 18", they'll look great on that Skyline...

[Spec2 Girl]

Well the standard wheels are 17” so I definitely want to go bigger. A friend has just got 18” wheels and the ride quality seems fine.

I will be going for 18x8 on the front and 18x9 on the rear. Probably with 235 tyres on the front and 265 on the rear.

I’m not really a fan of chrome wheels. If I were to go chrome they would have to be shadow chrome which is darker than the standard chrome.

And replicant I totally agree that wheels in NZ are very overpriced. I’ve been offered these at a really good price and considering that they’re Japanese wheels it’s very tempting.

yo whatsup Spec2_Girl, and yeh i just did a quick, like 2 min chop to show you what it would look like. Here it is

What kind of wheels are those? I dont like dark wheels expecially on a light car. It looks dirty to me.

White wheels are my favorite, white volks to be exact.

They look awesome. Definitely decided now.

Thanks De$i.

and dayna I'm totally the opposite, I'm not a fan of white wheels on white cars. I saw a pic of a white R34 with white wheels and it almost looked plastic.

Ozzie says Maybe some 19s and a 3" height reduction. And keep yo' pimpin' hand strong.
