Hey guys, so I'm torn. My 05 coupe (gold, serengeti sand color code k32) came with the 17" 6 spokes in chrome which honestly look great, but 2 of the wheels have chrome peeling and the other 2 are fair condition.

I'm on a budget and having a hard time finding any good looking wheels that will look good with my color car.. I've seen XXR and that's about as much as I'm willing to spend on a set (700), then have to worry about tires too.

The problem is, the ones that look decent on our cars ( I think the XXR 521 ) are pretty much only in black, or black and polished studs which on a SS looks good but kinda meh to me. I feel like on this color the wheels have to be polished or chrome.

Theres a seller with a mint set of the OEM chrome 17" 6 lugs like mine but they are 400+150 shipping cheaper I've seen in good condition so I feel like for that kind of money I might as well be getting looking at a nice aftermarket set...

So can anybody suggest some decently priced wheels that might look good on this color? I found some nice looking rims called FR1 F21 that have a nice dish, polished too (20" 114.3 35mm offset) would love to see what they'd look like on the car... theyd run about 800 new or a used mint set I found at 600.


Long read sorry... I hate not being able to find rims I like that will fit.

Now I'm kind of wanting to paint the roof, bottom bumper/exhaust cutout area black and get the black xxr with polished rivets after seeing SS G's with black roofs

Pretty sexy

Man maybe it's the lighting but I swear this is K23 Liquid Platinum, not SS!

k32 serengeti sand - confirmed by my Jdm engine plate , door tag, and my eyeballs.

I actually have one of the original SS coupes that came with the wrong color side skirts when that whole fiasco was a thing lmfao. G35s were coming out all over from dealerships with mismatching side skirts. sucks my drivers side skirt is silver Compared to the car.

That pic isnt my car btw it's a pic for color example. I'll post mine when its washed right now you couldnt tell what color it is its filthy from the snow here.

It didn't look like SS to me either, but I thought it was Brilliant Silver (KY0?). Was LP available for MY05?

EDIT: Just noticed that's not even a pic of OPs car. I really don't think that one is SS.
