Guys I am new to the G scene and I need some recommendations on what wheels I should get for my 04 TB Sport. This is how she sits now. I have the Eibach pro kit on it now btw.




I'm thinking some type of 18" 5 or 6 spoke wheel or a mesh style preferably in silver / hyper silver finish or maybe polished.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated. And I am on a budget so nothing too outrageous in price as well.

 

Listen, man, wheel selection is about freedom of expression. You must appreciate that you have a choice, because you live in a great country, where you can just plunk out wade of cash and get any size/shape/colour of wheel you want.
I just remember my time growing up in USSR....can you imagine-I had a fvckin' coupon for alloys(10") for my LADA!? I had to sign up for wheels I want 2 years in advance...and give bribe of about $5(out of my $7 salary) to be registered.
So be bold, express yourself, do not let us limit your self-expression.
Good luck, comrade! Viva la resistanse!

P.S. If you get chrome wheels, we will laugh at you.

 

Are you looking into aftermarkets or are you leaning to stock'ish, like 18" coupe or 19" Rays?

 

Rob,
im torn man. I could go some kind of aftermarket 5 or six spoke but then i know a mesh type of wheel would look sick. Ive seen a few sets of Nismo 18s around that look nice.
You have any options for me? A set of 05 / 06 sedan wheels would be nice as well.

 

I like those. They seem to be harder to find than the seven spokes or rays. I also like that they are NOT staggered to be able to rotate all tires (I'm cheap like that, though).

 

^ yup i hear that man. I Like the look of staggered but dont want it on my ride.
Where shoud I look for those?? Ebay? and obviously the classifieds here.

 

If I were you, id throw some nice 19s or even 20s on this bad boy. Telling you, do not get 18s, before long you will be wishing you had went bigger! I promise!

 

no chance im getting 20s. too big for my liking but i appreciate the help.
i like the way my car sits now just want a nicer wheel and a little bigger is all.

 

Really? 05-06 sedan 17's are hard to find? I see them everywhere. Can't wait to get mine off. Need to find some other wheels though. It is convenient to rotate the non-staggered setup

Rays look good, but I feel they're played out nowadays. Search around on my350 for the nismo's, they pop up sometimes. BBS or CCW are some pretty nice mesh wheels, bit pricey though. I think a vendor sells the BBS LM reps on here somewhere.

 

nice car. i have the same one. only mine looks nothing like that anymore.

imo, 17/18s are to small for the sedan. my first set was 18s and it looked horrible. unless you are going to slam the car on coils then i would not do 18s. 19s atleast. im on 20s and i have no complaints.

 

^ +1

18s need work to look right.

19s are your best bet.

There is some great fitting BBS LMs for 1500 in the marketplace right now.

 

We were talking about 18's and I'm pretty sure he was referring to the split spoke 18's that look similar to the 19' Coupe Rays. I agree w/ the Rays being played out (somewhat). Still like the look, just not a fan of the price of tires and the inability to rotate like non-staggered.

 

I dunno guys... I think they look right:

 

Im kinda digging the XXR 522s that are for sale in the vendor classifieds in gold. Although I would prefer a silver finish the gold might look nice against the blue. And i guess i could have them painted in the future.

19s just kill me with tire prices. I had 19s on my TL and I about sh** a brick when I saw the price of tires.

 

Chris,
I think golds would look good against the twilight blue, BUT you'd have to get your lowers color matched. The faded black has got to go! LOL
