Aftermarket parts cheapen your G
nah they are too busy ordering poorly fitting body kits, painting eyelids on their lights, blacking out their tails and running 195s on 10.5" wide wheels
on the other hand some mods are meant to "cheapen" the look of the car, like blacking out the tacky chrome or nissan emblems, because a lot of what makes "luxury" cars desirable is fake badging and tacky chrome trim

yes, i never understood how people could drop like 60,000 into a custom blazer or civic and think that it was a good idea when they could buy an m3 or something
if you need to spend 20,000 on mods to make your car the way you want it, you bought the wrong car, then again drug dealers who have a hard time hiding money need to spend it on something, buying a 60,000 car would be more obvious then hooking up a pos car...just saying

or buying aftermarket 17" wheels with huge sidewalls. That doesnt cheapen your ride.
same as oem sidewalls bro...so i guess being stock cheapens your ride
maybe you should try knowing things about cars before you talk to me again

OEM Sedan w/ 17s have 215/55 series tires. Arent you running 235/55 and 245/50? Bit of a difference in rolling diameter/sidewall height there.
didnt know Kosei's were stock either. As you were....
stock sedan has 215/55-17s like you said on 17x7 +40 offset wheels
stock coupe has 17x7.5 +30 225/50 fr 17x8 +33 235/50 r
I have 17x8 +35 all around which are 1" wider then stock sit 5mm further out. they are also 15.6lbs which is something like 8lbs lighter then the stock wheels(which is a better performance mod then a z-tube, coupe midpipe or probably even a plenum spacer)
as far as the sidewalls, 235/50-17 front(oem coupe rear size, lower profile the the oem 215/55s, they are about the same OD as stock, but 20mm wider) and 255/45 rears. Also, I didn't buy aftermarket 17s, I had them left over from my last car so im using them k thnx bye
DOMOside note, yes kosei's look cheaper then some of the oem G wheels, but I really disliked the sedan sport package wheels that came on my car
stock
coupe 17s with 245/45 blizzacks
kosei's with 235/50 255/45 conti DW summer tires
coupe 17s look the best, but they are beat up so they are for winter
i don't it looks cheapened compared to the way it was stock though

....and look worse than your OEMs.
I misquoted your front tire specs. My fail. Took the tire specs from one of your old posts there, friend. The rears ODs you list are larger than larger than OEM. Overall, enjoy your fail.
maybe i should have mounted 255s on my oem 7" wide wheels
