Need opinions on wheels size and color.

Hey guys and gals,

Just as my title states, I need some opinions on wheels size and color for my G. I own an 06 Laser Red coupe. Bone stock. Been looking at wheels for the past few months and cannot make up my mind on what will look best on my G. Been contemplating the following:

SIZE:
19" or 20"?

COLOR:
Gunmetal, matte black, gloss black, or silver.

LIP:
No lip, step lip, or just plain lip.

Just want to see what YOU think would look good for me. If you have a pic, that would be awesome. Thanks everyone.

SORRY FOR NO PIC OF MY G, LOOK IN MY GARAGE. My phone is not uploading the pics.

19s for sure! Probably a 10-11 inch wheel in the rear, and an 8.5-9.5 in the front. Anywhere between a +20 and 0 offset depending on how aggressive you want the wheels. I personally like the concave mesh look. (Avant Garde M310's) But i also like the deep dish look. Personal preference! As far as color, I think black wheels are mean looking. I also like the brushed aluminum look!

19"s. No black wheels, because they dont photo well, you cant really 'see' them.

Id suggest a 2pc Volk wheel

I like the 530z, 630z, and wheels that look like 830z-88zr. I wouldn't do black or chrome. I like the look of anthracite or brushed aluminum or gunmetal. Black is kinda played out. And silver colors look much cleaner. I'm just using the link above to show the type of rims and colors. They make a lot of rims that look just like those.

Dam, these guys have tons of beautiful wheels. I'm thinking maybe the 860z in 20". See if they can do it in gunmetal.

What do you guys think of these XXRs? I know they are not the most extravagant, expensive wheels but, I happen to like them.

I like the XXR's, but that lip would have to grow on me.

I used to run Donz Genovese 20" with 8.5" front and 10" rear on 245/35/20 and 275/30/20.



Just bought Forgestar F14 with 9.5" front and 10.5" rear on 255/40/19 and 285/35/19.

I agree as well. Black wheels on an LS coupe look awesome IMO. Otherwise Silver. I like having a lip, but also love the concave look. So fat lip or concave is my vote.
