agreed. the bronze look on a black car looks great as is, but i can easily picture black rims on this gs, especially with the stance it has right now. sweet pics nonetheless!

I think the wheels look solid, but I still prefer wheels with lips

Wheels don't fit in the wheel well. Looks **** imo. Plus can't imagine the suspension performing with so little play. In the rain, the road markings would probably put you in a spin unless you were driving like a grandma.

I like my wheels like my women....with full lips. The lipless thing is not going to make a comeback in my book. There is something special about how the light catches the edge of the lip when cruising along. You cant beat it. Lipless wheels look stock and kind of blahh imho

I think it looks good. fitment is pretty sick for OEM wheels of another brand. The kit is Job Design btw. appearently job design does alot of moding to thier kits. And yea its on air suspension so it can go up and down for driving.

it all depends on the wheel. some wheels look good with a lip and some look good without a lip. only positive to not having a lip is it makes the wheel look bigger. those gt-r wheels are just ugly though. the spokes are way too thick.

I beg to differ... Did you see the new G37 Sedans wheels..... the 460' wheels are miles better looking...
