Default 2 NISSAN GT-R's featuring iFORGED Wheels

Hey guys I got these pics from iFORGED yesterday, they were taken in Japan, for a magazine called CUSTOM CAR over there. I have to give props/congrats to iFORGED on being the first to do 22" aftermarket wheels for the GT-R!!

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



WHITE GTR:
22" iFORGED IMOLA
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

Although I'm sure it does nothing for improved performance (or maybe if they're extremely lightweight 22's), the wheels really look at home inside those huge wheel wells.

I'm not a fan of putting oversized wheels on a sports car, black rims look cool on the grey car though

+1. maybe an inch more but thats about it unless it needs it for performance reason. the white one looks like a toy from the rear too lol.

and I really don't care if it's the first to be done...getting it done RIGHT, matters though. nevermind, i thought Rays made aftermarket wheels before iForged but I guess they make the OEM ones.

Closer to the F430 in terms of size and spacing (and the GT-R is a lot bigger than even the F430, really), but yeah. Not a fan of the rims though.

Both cars look really clean, especially the white one, I thought they were 20's at first glance.

Other than the rims it's really hot. Probably the hottest GT-R yet.
