m45 wheels look small??

I just got a set of m45 wheels with 245/40/19 tires all around. It looks small for 19"s... I have 18"s on my Legend and they look bigger than the m45 wheels What do you guys think?

I agree. I think the design on the m45 wheels make them look smaller than they really are. The spokes don't extend out to the edge like the ones on my Legend. Also, if I had 35 profile tires they would probably look bigger eh?? If the car was lower then it'd probably look bigger too, but there are some huge speedbumps where I'm at and my exhaust scrapes =(

Does anyone know if there are any 20" five/six split spoke wheels that look similar to the m45 wheels? I like the design

Anyone looking for Ray's 19" Oem rims (no tires)?? I have them for sale =) The rims are straight and true. It just has some curb rashes on them. PM me if you're interested

i personally dont like chunky tires, but it could make it seem bigger, i say dropp it a lil lower, we all have to live with speedbumps if you hit the speedbump at an angle your car wont rebound nearly as harsh, saves my sideskirts every once in a while.

Hey thanks for the input I'm actually pretty new to g35 forum.

What did you drop your car with and what rims/tires do you have on? I just have the Tein S-Techs on mine. I was thinking of doing the "springmount modification" to drop it another 1/2 inch...then I'd need a camber kit wouldn't I?

No, as in which one of those characters are you? Based on your answer, I'm guessing "dumber."
