Does anybody have pics of body work with stock rims? I'm curious how that would look. Im not talking about rays either. I'm talking about the 7 spoke 18".

 

This is my friends 2004. He doesn't have a full bodykit, but he has N2 front, Seibon CF hood, and other minor bodywork here and there (painted headlights - he has projectors now, clearcorners, etc etc...) He has stock 18''s but he got them painted gunmetal. It actually looks pretty nice; some spacers would really clean it up tho...

 

It's always been my opinion that the proper sequence to modding any car should be:

drop -> aftermarket rims -> body kit

If you go out of that order, things just look...not good. The exception would be the OEM 19's which look alright with a body kit when combined with spacers. I've not seen may pics of OEM 18's with body kit. IMO spend the money on the kit getting a drop or new wheels.

 

i agree, i am the same way. But i'm curious as to what it looks like because i kinda like the 18's.

 

If you go with a very subtle bodykit it wont necessarily look weird.

This is a pic of my G when I had 18s. I dont think the 18s are taking away from the nismo front.

 

I love the 18s. Slap some 25mm spacers on and they look better 90% of the wheels people have been putting on their cars lately.

 

In the first pic those 18"s don't look bad just dirty! We've seen those rims P/Coated that looked great here on Driver. Mod sequence s/b Rims/Body Kit/Drop unless you decide to do a wide body after purchasing rims....Ouch!

i also like the 18's, especially when there powder coated a darker grey such as gunmetal


i have the 19's tho, so i can't talk, i also can't lower my car because i drive in winter and i'd be screwed if it was lowered, heck, i'd consider raising my car for winter about 1" from stock lol (btw, is there any way to do this lol?).

 

i think the stock 19s with spacers will look decent with a body kit

 

they make these 7 spoke in 19's?

 

Anything beyond a Nismo front or Data Systems/OEM lip with stock wheels is rice.

 

Id drink to that

 

me too. Im just curious if anybody has done this and has pics to share.

 

Anything more than a nismo front is definitely pushin it.

 

no, sorry i meant that i have the 19" rays, not those 7 spokes in 19.

i was just saying i like those 18" wheels too, but i prefer my 19" rays forged wheels.
