I had 17"s with coilovers on my SC when I bought it. Trouble is, when it was lowered enough to look good, it rode like crap and bottomed out on everything. I went with 18"s.

that white sc looks good with the 17's i think they'll look nice if you have the stance to compliment it....


iirc the fno1rc in the 10 wide is all concave face dont matter on the offsets

FNs are so played/ugly, dunno why you'd downgrade to those.

I got 17s on mines with non aggressive offset for my daily-
I couldve gone for 18s but street driving in LA is not cool (too many pot holes)
I love the concave look tho, leave the g35 wheels for nissans
and get a good aggressive off set for 17s ride wont be as bumpy in a non smooth road

I like the sunken in look as well. It makes the car look like it has a widebody on it but it is not.

Well I just moved over from the 240SX scene, and everyone and their mother has them...plus they're big with evo's too...I've just never been a big fan of them. I think the G coupe wheels look way better...I'm running 18" G coupe wheels right now...

Keep the 19's. 17's are too small for these cars imo. Get some hub-centric spacers perhaps.

sure they are played because of quality and price... you cant beat it.
UGLY? thats just opinion.

I have several of these for spares.

I don't think they make our cars look bad. 17's will be pushing it unless you are scrapping the whole bottom
of your car on the ground... Gansta

edit- I just got 2 more at the same sale Luke did, couldn't pass them up $135 each.
speed alliance has some 18's on sale right now
