So I've been talking with Peter and stuff, and I'm on the edge between getting some Gram Lights 57c 17*8.5/9.5 or 57Pro's 17*9/10's. We get to save some money now until New Years anyways. Wish those that Ian put up were in silver then I'd seriously consider going 18 just to save a little dough. Anyways, price difference is like 500 bucks for a lip around 3-3.5 inches and extra .5 inch width. What do you guys think I should go with? Yes most G35 owners like 19's, but I like the look of having a little more rubber, having better tire selection and prices, and decent weight differences. I will probably be going through tires like crazy after the ST kit that is comming soon, and shaving a few dollars here and there so that I could put it else where is what I'm trying to do. Thoughts, opinions?

 

i dont know bro, IMO i only like 19's or 20's on G's. anything else usually looks weird and ugly. if ur worried but weight, why not get some OEM 19's. i'm sure you can find those for pretty cheap.

 

18 inch Gram Lights 57s-pro or 18 inch Gram Lights 57pro.

I like those wheels, particularly the 57s-pro.

 

def go with 19's

 

There is always the Nismo LM-Gt4s

 

Please don't be offended but I want to be dramatic.

You will look like a nerd with 17's on this car. Especially aftermarket 17's. You can get away with stock 17's but even that looks inappropriate for this car. At least get 18's.

 

Go for rims made by Rays or Advan

 

i am getting 18s for the weight savings, but they still look good, 17s to me look a little too small on our cars....

i found some magnesium 18s for right under 400 a wheel weighing 14 pounds each.... nice and light

 

you can def get away w/ 18's as long as you have a nice drop

 

If I didn't have a budget I'd go find some 18*9.5/10.5 or 19*9.5/10.5 work meister s1's. But since I want aftermarket wheels that are lighter/cheaper/have cheaper replacement for tires than stock, then 19's right now would be stupid. I've still got my sight's set on some widebody setup in the long long run, so it would be silly to put down 600+ a wheel right now, if I plan to maybe change them out in a time frame of less than 4yrs. Yeah so this car is a keeper . So in the meantime, I want more traction and less weight. Gram Lights aren't the lightest, but according to quite a few people I've talked to, they're probably one of the stronger wheels amongst the lighter ones, also cheaper too of course.

I guess I'll just look like a nerd ... its only a small difference in looks with these kind of wheels in 17 vs 18. Performance vs. Looks is a hard decision though

...that's a good idea too. Can you point me in the right direction?

 

Found some nice 24" spinners here:

not cool.... yet funny....

 

where'e the link to the magnesium wheels? Good thinking, btw.

 

ok i thought i saved it on my comp, i will find it tomorrow i promise and will share it, i know i found it off of the miata rim weight site....


tomorrow, they were nice too, under 400 a wheel and less that 14 pounds...

 

That was harsh... *ouch* Maybe I should change my avatar You know if anyone want's one of those though, sell them in Magic Mall, got boxes full of them. I'll give you guy's a discount
