Rims Question



So I have finally saved up enough money to order a set of nice rims...I have $3,500 to spend...Please show me some of the sickest 20in rims that I could put on my black g...btw i cannot lower my car b/c of the ridiculous amount of potholes in oklahoma...my first choice is MRR GT1.

If you are not going to lower, I woudn't recommend going to 20s. The size of tire compared to gap will make it look like a 4X4. No matter how great the rims are, it just won't look right. Just my .02...

if you want to get rims and not lowered, there are only a few aftermarket rims that don't make your car look like a 4x4. IMO I'd go for a set of G37 Sport 19s. Those rims look good on Gs without a drop.

Volk GTS do not come in 20s. Here's the size and price list:

Check out the "RIM DEPTH" to give you the lip size.

Also, if you're not lowering, just stick w/ 19s. I think 19" M45 rims or 19" G37 rims look the best on an unlowered G35.

If you want 20s, you have to lower it or it will just make the car look worse. Get some Eibach springs. That will preserve most of your ride quality AND give you great looks and driveability.

Oklahoma highways....?

If you have issues with the poor quality of roads/highways in Oklahoma
why would you consider going with 20" wheel/tires? With the tire size
required with the 20s you'll have zero protection against pot holes.
One big pot hole and you can kiss those rims "Good By/See Ya!" Shame to
save all the money only to kiss it good by.... Go with 19"s at least
you'll have some protection!

I have some iforged 19s coming in next week. Will 19s show off a 4X4 look as well, or should i be looking into some lowering springs. Im AWD so i think lowering springs would be pointless for winters of corse. Suggestions please

^go wtih eibachs i guarantee you it will look great with 20s and you will not have issues with pot holes. eibachs drop the car but is not too aggressive to the point where you ruin you ride cuz of potholes and such...
