i wish that was grounds for a ban, but sadly its not….

 

Anyone here with 18 inch es2's on a coupe

 

is it possible to run OEM 19 tire sizes (225/245 40 19) on these wheels? more specifically 9.5 width and 10.5 width? or is the 40's too meaty looking? also droped on s-techs with rear spring mount mod and rolled fenders. thanks

 

No, the tire sizes aren't nearly correct in terms of sidewall or width. You need new tires for those rim sizes

 

Really? I've seen someone on here run these tires but 35s not 40s on the same wheels.

Also, currently I'm running 225/255 35 on 20x9 and 20x11 wheels. Figured it wasn't much different

 

If you don't want stretch, then what Xet says is true.

I run a 225/40 front on my 19x10 and it may be too meaty for some tastes. As long as the tire tucks in the fender some, nobody will notice.

I would say that stretched, 225/35 is the popular choice for 19x9.5 and 245/35 for the 10.5

 

Worst thread ever! Knock off crap. The reason people get bent is because people run around with knock off's pretending to be the real thing. Say what you will but I can't support this garbage. There are plenty of decent wheels in your low budget price point and buying knock offs just mean you want to rock a look you can't afford. It has nothing to do with similar, these are direct rip offs. It also causes the real deal to up their costs since they are being shorted sales by these rip offs. Have fun with your fake wheels, fake Rolex, fake life.

 

can we get some pics of coupes with ES3's?? all i see is Es1's and 2's. Thanks!

 

Personally I have had 20" Volk GT-30's on my 05 G, have Volk GT-S's on my wifes IS350, Piaa's on my IS300 and now that i have bought another G,I have a set of "fakes" Varrstoens 19x9.5 and 10.5 +12. I could really care less, I dont run centers in them anyway nor would I ever try and pass them off as "real" wheels. A true wheel ***** can tell the difference anyway, sad that "fake" Varrstoens have a better looking (in my opinion) concave face then the real TE-37's. I know the difference in quality especially when i had my VS-XX's and one got bent in an accident. It was able to be repaired by a wheel pro and i know that any other off brand wheel would have just broke. I think it really all boils down to what you plan on doing with your car. If you show it or race it then of course you want high quality to be able to rely on, but if you just drive you car to work and want it to look like an aggressive daily, then who cares if you buy cheap wheels as long as they fit the car and compliment its looks.

 

I can see where you're coming from here. Really I don't care as much as it sounded like, just talking ****. It doesn't bother me really because when parked next to cars with reps, even they stare at the real **** drooling. I just always wonder why people overlook other quality made wheels like Enkei for example to go with a knock off who knows what type of quality wheel. What evs it is what is and it is just an opinion. There are some nice looking cars in here though. Carry on hate hate hate hate hate.

 

Hell I run replica Saleen Mustang wheels on my car and I could give a s**t what people think. I love them. .

 

So who won the Gravis?

 

Enkei have some nice lightweight wheels, but if you really want to tell me rpf-1's look nice on a g35, especially in 17" or 18" sizes that are better form performance and ride, then I think you either have a very different opinion on what looks good, or are lying to yourself. Most people prefer that their cars also look fairly nice
