Nice rims. White one is too low - looks cheesy.

JDM wheels such as volk are the only way to go on GTR.

Personally, I like the gun metal stock wheels the best.

While I'm not a fan of putting the heavy chrome on the GT-R, I have to say that it does look good. And for those saying that putting 22's on the GT-R is too much, just remember that it comes from the factory with 20's.

Hey guys, I knew this thread would reveal polarized opinions!

Those cars were done for TAS so of course they are a little more over the top than what each and every GTR owner would get. That being said, the GTR is a huge car and while 22" wheels may not be the purist choice, I'm am quite sure there will be a large market for them here in the US (as there are a lot of M6's with 22" wheels now). The OEM rear tire on this car is the same size as a BMW 7series!

The white car has Hi-Polished at least no chrome

I don't know if I would go so large personally (I'm torn between 21" and 22" for this car), but I LOVE the look of the white car. Its bold and in your face, and I like it for that reason. When I opened the pics on tuesday, "I was like whoa that's crazy!" Lol

Of course if they can do 22', they can also build 20" for it, so in the end everyone can be accomodated!

I really cannot believe how insane the white car looks, its a little blingy, but I can't stop looking at it.

Hi-POLISHED Finish
(2.5" fr lip / 3.5" rr lip)
Prototype Lowering Springs
BREMBO BBK Rear Upgrade
Color Matched Moldings


GRAY GTR:
22" iFORGED NEO
Matte Black Finish
(2.5" fr lip / 5" rr lip)
Tinted Head / Tail Lamps


Enjoy the pics













Yo D... You already know what I'm gonna say bro...

BADASZ!!! Nothing compliments a whip like some nice shoes (suspension too). SICK... Thanks for sharing.

The gray one looks good but Im not really feelin' that white one. I think the chrome kills it for me. Sizes look good on both though, anyone know if the gray one is running stock suspension?

wow, the day has come when you can put 22's on cars and they don't look out of proportion.

My thought was right, paint the lower molding will make the car look a lot better!!
I will personally go 20' Work/Iforged/HRE...
But te GTR with 22 is sick!!!

The gunmetal one is good.
The white one is for kids that watch MTV and the "hey look I'm here" crowd. I used to be that guy in my teens, early 20s....

Not anymore....

The white one looks a little too low, but other than that, they're both nice cars.
