Guys Opinionnns

Ive been looking online for 19s or 20s for soooo long , now im thinking maybe ill just get 18s. Right now i have stock 17s and ive been wanting to get aftermarket rims for so long, and came across nice 18s for a great price. Would 18s look Ok on the coupe??? Or 19s and 20s better? Just for now at least.

Going down in rim size is like breaking up with your hot girlfriend and getting with an ugly girl
Keep searching and you'll find the right price for those 19"s. If you don't you'll always have rim envy when you see some 19's or 20's.

Just got 18's and they look great... i was also skeptical about getting 18s but i got a real low profile tire (aka a lot of rim and just a little bit of tire showing ) which makes the car lower and makes the rims look a whole lot bigger.

def go with 20's, you will regret getting anything else in the long run..........theres no point in upgrading if your not going to go all out, go big or go home

Here are 19s vs. 20s:


stock height vs. dropped:


or you could just get 18s and 6 months from now you'll be thinking to yourself: "I should have gotten 20s..... "

no pressure or anything.

okay.... at least get the 19s, that way the G's with 20s stand out more...

Tires are a big question and how often you go through them. 19s are approximately $70 more per tire going from 18s to 19s (if you get a good tire).

You should get some 18's..
I know a guy (we'll just call him me for now) who happens to be selling a set of OZ Superleggara's with tires.. 18x9's..
not sure if they'll fit though, they're from a 3000gt and have about 1000 miles on them..
