Since i am absolutely clueless about automotive, i do not know what kind of wheels i need to go for on my g coupe.

my budget for wheels and tires is $2000 and i think i should go for 18'' cuz i do not have much money to make modification on spring and suspension. Plz help me.

Some less expensive brands to look into are ADR, Axis and Exel. For that price, I would get ADR M-Sports. They're like my Volks but a little heavier and without the polished lip. Scroll down here and you can take a look at the ADR M-Sports.

Re: need your recommendation!!

factory is more durable than ADR's. the axis brand are actually a good quality rim. I've had axis on previous cars and went through sink holes and never warped/dented them. If possible, look into Volk, Work, SSR (not type-C though), and other JDM brands. Good american brands are ro_ja, iforged, nc forged, hre, etc. I'd choose with a JDM quality brand. Chroming in Japan is much better quality/durability than america (if you want chrome type).

I think ADR is decent quality. I haven't owned any but I hear good things. Get an alignment after putting on 19s and you should be OK. The tires might wear a little more quickly.

Re: need your recommendation!!

Hojinn, what size are you currently running the 17's or 18's?

Something to consider; $2000 is not as much as you might think for tires and wheels. For new 18" tires (4 corners) you may be close to $1000 already and $250/wheel will probably not get you anything better than what already comes on the car.

$2000 for wheels only could get you Nismo, Volk, SSR, & other good quality wheels.

Re: need your recommendation!!

For around that budget, 18's or 19's and still be able to go staggered, I'd go for some 5zigen FN01R-C's, Axis Hiro's, Axis Finish's, Axis Reverb, Axis Super-Mesh, Axis Milano's, RH Evolution GT5's, Enkei RP03 or RPF1's, Work Emotion CR's, TSW Catalunya's, TSW Kyalami's, TSW Thruxton's or ROH Drift-R's.

Re: need your recommendation!!

for about 2k you can do the adrmsport 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 but make sure you have NO BREMBO because it will not fit .. also the tire size could be 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 which i recommend 275/35/19 may cost a little more
