Fat tires look best though.

i basically hate the way your car looks currently. Nothing personal. Those rims look pretty bad.

Any high end 19 inch wheels man, I don't think you should just settle for cheaper wheels. Go big or go home.

I personally think 18" is the biggest you should go on these.

any 5 spoke, mesh style, concave, lip , step lip =D. pick or combine these requirements to find a sick wheel =).

cheap side: xxr/varrstoen/supra tt
expensive side: work/volk/ssr

I wouldnt get the vossens... i think all vossen wheels are fugly... just my opinion.

^Good God that is a deep lip!

TSW makes good rims for a decent price. I myself will be getting Lumarai Morro rims but they are more expansive. Both of them are aluminum so they will weigh less than XXR. TSW is about the same price as XXR and i think they have better looking wheels.
Lumarai:



If you cant spend alot i would say look for other OEM wheels to fit your car. My favorite from all the other OEM wheels are the 350Z rims. Usually come in a staggered set of 8" and 9" but no lip. You can get them pretty cheap used with tires. Here is what they look like on an SC:


Best of luck on the wheels. Im in the same boat as you, cant decide on anything that fits my budget. lol

yea it comes down to money as always , if your on a budget your best bet is to just hold off until u can get something nice as opposed to going in half cocked if u know what i mean.

They are not my favourite or anything but i think the g35 wheels can be had for quite cheap and they will definitely look better then your current wheels, but again i think holding off and saving up and searching for a deal is your best bet.

Good luck

either that, or Work eventually started making them in 5x114.

When i spoke to a work distributor a whiiiile back, they said Bronbachers only came in euro bolt patterns thats why u mostly see them on BMW's.
Brombachers were made in 5x114.3 also for a very limited time.
