Question What do you guys think of these rims?

Hi everyone I think my next major mod is going to be rims but I really dont want to pass $2000 I found these I wanted to know what you guys thought of these. They are called TSW CARTHAGE here is a pic but I can't seem to find one on a G. If anyone has it could you please post them up and should I go with 19's or 20's??? I really like the way 20's look on the coupes. Or can someone Photoshop it please on a OB G35 coupe please. Thank you.

I'm getting the feeling that your next major mod is going to be rims?

Look okay. Probably heavy as an anchor (if that's a concern)

I don't mind the first one. Agree on offsets. 20 is the right size for a coupe, with proper drop.

I'm thinking of doing Tanabe DF210 for the drop. And I would need your guys help with the offset because I dont know much about it when it comes to offsets lol. I really like it when the rear wheels look kinda bent looks kool to me I know a lot of ppl dont like that but I kinda do.

"look kinda bent" as in negative camber? you'll need to drop more than w/ just springs.

i'd invest in coilovers first then get the wheels later.

Tien S techs

roll rear fenders and slight camber should do you good.

many ways to go; Adding spacers and going less width wheel can help get the wheel angled more.
like
235/30
255/30
+15 Spacer F
+20 Spacer R
