Like everything... but the wheels.

The stock wheels made the car look more "rich"

Very nice. I love the G2's, maybe a more aggressive offset or less wheel gap would help.
No need for 20s... Stay performance oriented.


Just an idea but seen the G2 Type 2's?

Thanks for all the comments!! Wow, I am really suprised that many members are not digging the VR G2...To be honest they are one of my fav JDM wheels.

I think maybe they are not aggressive enough ? I know I am finding a solution esp. the front.

Don't get me wrong, the polished blade stockers are also great, I was going to get a different look with less spokes G2. Again, personal preference right

I picked VR G2 for same top built quality (forged as the Stock BBS), a bit lighter (3 lbs lighter per corner), a bit wider (8.5F, 9.5R), a bit easier to wash and clean...

Ya, I love how 20" G2 looks so hot on T-Rex06's F, but I decided to stick with 19" for better handling performance; plus the road condition here is not that friendly for this heavy F riding on 20"...

^ Nice, ya I thought about switching over because Type-2 G2 offer better offsets...

Mine are 19x8.5 ET45 Front and 9.5 ET45 Rear. I was supposed to get 8.5 ET35 front, but back then they are out of stock and need to wait at least 3 months...

Lately I am thinking maybe try 19x9.5 ET45 all around but I am not sure about the front tires size and the handling factor...

The TOM's CF kit looks great! Not a fan of the wheels though, needs a more aggressive setup, but to each their own!

I can see where you are going with the wheels, IMO , I would have at least gone wider.
Maybe a new grill with the emblem deleted, idk, maybe its your license plate, I mean for god sake, its an ISF, and it should remind me of a Infinity G series coupe, either way, very classy, and well executed, Toms looks like it was a factory option, keep it up

Mind to share your offsets and tires sizes?

I like it, I think the wheels are a step in the right direction. My personal favorite is the GTS though but these set the car apart from the others nicely as well. Nice!!!

TE37 are on the top of my list too, but need to get at least ET22 for the correct look

I am also waiting info for Megan racing camber kit!
