I just got my 05 IP sedan a month ago and am torn on wheels... or at least color. What do you guys think of solid black wheels??? My windows are darker than 5%, windshield is tinted, tailights are blacked out, and I will be getting the debadged black mesh grille asap.... Opinions or suggestions greatly appreciated!!

 

black wheels are outdated now and IMO look the worst on white, they get completely lost with the tire and look like spare wheels. Trust me, i had flatblack and gunmetal wheels on my IP. I liked it at first, but the wheels just got lost. I'd go with Gold, you cant go wrong with gold on IP. Or if you're sticking with the black theme, get silver wheels with a black lip.
-GP-

 

even with a black theme, i love gold wheels on IP...

btw Grant, which wheels are you rolling on now?

 

Silver with a black lip?? Anyone have pics of that???

 

but... the avatar

 

I wouldnt do that... it will look like the tires are much higher profile

For IP I think polished is good. Its a bright car and polished flows with that theme...

 

I've tried a couple different ones on my 05 IP sedan (20 chromes, 19s etc..), but love the M45 wheels the most by far. I got a set powdercoated a bit darker than they come, wrapped them in some pirelli p-zero 245-40-19s and slapped them on. Here are a few pics. I'm dropped on the best springs ever as well, the H&R sedan sport springs, got them put on at the same time as the M45 wheels after trying a few different suspension setups as well..G/L

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

I like it!!. How does your car ride now? Oh, and do you have overlays on your headlights??

 

No, fully painted semi-gloss black with 8000k AAC Angel/Demon eye halo rings.

 

Damnit I wish I could mod my own stuff! You know any one that does it? Thanks

 

Matte black center with a gloss black lip would look sick...especially if you had a nice BBK behind them.




Or gold, like Grant suggested...very JDM



Or chrome if you're into it

 

Gold w/ polished lip FTW

 

wheels are really subjective; what style are you going for? I think you can't go wrong with the m45 wheels like posted; even the coupe 18s would look dope... but that's just my style.. .OEM looks the best imo.

I'd love to get my hands on some G37S wheels... those are ****in amazing.

 

Thats what I originally was looking for , but everyone wanted an arm and a leg for them. So my impatience and a hook up at Discount tire landed me on some 20's... Ill post pics as soon as they get here.
