Opinions on these??
If you like them. Go for it! It's only gravy if other likes em.
P.S. I prefer less opening gap. I like the chrome regardless of what other on the forum prefer. Note that most show cars are displayed in chrome. The Antera wheels look hot.

I am also only thinking of 18" rims for myself anyway. Low profile tires on Canadian roads are not the best ride, the winters beat the roads up bad so they are very bumpy and full of small potholes. (Tried low pros in the past, and my A$$ still aches)

Roads are not perfect in the Toronto area but they are not that bad either. I ride on my 20's in the summer and the ride quality is great and very similar to the OEM 18's.Unless you live in the Montreal area I'd agree with you. Winters are brutal and the roads are full of potholes.

I used to have low pro tires on my last car and I hated the ride...never again as long as I live here anyway.
I was just down in orlando for a while and the roads there are a dream compared to here......

Ya the roads are definatley worse up here, but our cars last a lot longer. We dont have near the moisture in the air like in southern ontario...I have heard and seen the cars slowly rust away from the high humidity, where up here you would be hard pressed to find a rusty vehicle (unless it is a 1975 ford or something)
I guess there are pros and cons to any place.
So Chico you never said if you like those rims up top or not...your answer????

Maybe someone could photoshop them for me?
They are the TSW Nogaro's

Thanks JB...The photoshop look good to me....I actually did get them and they are mounted right now...need to get the camera out and take a pic or two.
Thanks for the input guys.
Thanks for the input guys.
Just posting a couple pics like I said I would.
I think they look good. They are only 18" mounted on the stock michilens, and there is no doubt 20's would look alot better, but my a$$ wasnt about to handle that kind of ride on the roads up north here.
Thanks for all the opinions guys

I looked at them briefly for my LS coupe, the offset in the front on the Nagaro's is not aggressive enough being the fronts are only 8.5's, the rears are 10's and the offset I think was +22 on the set I was looking at (they looked good), supposably Discount Tire a local shop where I am had the first set fitted for our cars, they put the fronts on for me, don't have any pics but the spokes were much to narrow and the "sank in" way to much for me, the rears looked good and filled the fender well but in my opinion I would definitly get something else!
