when i bought my car it came with aftermarket 20 inch wheels on it that were curbed and the paint was chipping

i dont like the 20's because they are to dang heavy
I drove a 350z for a couple years and i put 18's on it and they looked fine on the car, i wouldnt have went bigger than 18.

my question is will 18's look alright on a G?
im wanting to go with a 5 spoke gunmetal wheel 18x8.5 front 18x9.5 rears with 225/45/R18 front and 245/45/R18 rears

I dont want it to look retarted but i dont want the extra weight of a bigger wheel.

you guys got any pics of aftermarket 18 inch wheels on your G?

 

Not mine, but a guy in our group.

Nismo LMGT4
18x8.5+25 with 15mm spacers 245/40/18
18x9.5+30 with 20mm spacers 275/40/18

 

thanks for the post, i like the nismo's but im more of a lip guy
i like wheels with lips
i found a picture of a G with the wheels I want but I cant tell if they are 18's or not. they look alright *shrugs*

 

you can get 18s if you want performance but if you want lip i don't see how an 18 wheel with a big lip will provide any kind of performance
plus to make it right you would have to be very low otherwise they look too small

 

heres some pics of the wheels i want on a G

anyone have an idea of what size they are? the biggest size these wheels are made in are 19's

but i cant tell if they are 19's or 18's





here is my car like it is right now

 

nice G's

 

i wanna say 18 because they look pretty tiny

 

You got an OB, just make your car look like euro's and call it a day.

 

Sportmax XXR 962, those are probably 19s in gunmetal. You wanna know why you won't buy these? They're probably heavier than your 20s. I was gonna get those in gold for my Brilliant Silver coupe, but at almost 40lbs for just the wheel, it wasn't really worth it imo. They do look absolutely sexy, though. I still love them.

 

yea they are XXR 962's
but I remember having my 350z prior to wheels and how peppi it felt, it got a little lower when i put 18's on it but they were heavy wheels too

right now my G feels like im towing a friggin boat behind it, when i go through curves at speed the wheels feel so sluggish, i almost have to fight my steering wheel to stay in the curve

I was thinking those wheels were 18's, the 2nd picture of the rear wheel makes it look more like an 18 than a 19

 

If u want some 18's i would go with the Enkei RPF1 I really like these wheels.. they come in good offsets as well 18x9.5+15 18x10.5+15

heres a pic..

EDIT: this is NOT my G.. belongs to member elayman

 

def not, do a search, more like around 24-26 lbs per wheel in 19's

 

thats what i was thinking, they market the 962 as a light weight wheel?
especially if i were to go 18

 

I just called sportmax and those wheels in 18" weigh in at 27lbs

don't cheap out by getting sportmax wheels stick with those rpf1's or stock 19s
