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)
That's strange 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.

Actually I live out west in Edmonton....I have been to Southern Ontario many times and the roads here are A LOT worse...the more extreme temp changes just kills the road...this year has been strange but a typical winter to summer temp changes can be from -40C to + 35C which for the americans here is like -40F to 95F or so....every spring the roads start cracking and expanding upwards creating small bumps everywhere.
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......

OK...that explains it. I guess we're lucky here in Ontario. We hardly get any snow and the temps are mild compared to you guys.

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????

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'm sorry but they look too small and spokes are way too thin... I'm really sorry to say this but they look cheap....

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!

There is a guy on clublexus who has these nogaro's in chrome 19 on his IS350 and they look good. Also saw an NSX on nsxprime with these wheels and again, looking pretty good. I think you should go for them.
