I would get the rims you really want. I was in your same predicament, and even wanted to get those same Sterns, but then started to think about how much I was spending, and figure I spend a lil more money and get the rims I really wanted.

So I waited, saved up, and don't have any regrets about the purchase.

well... the money isn't a problem.... (well no i shouldn't say that).... but i actually like those sterns to be honest.... i don't care if they're made by the same manufacturer as ADR.... in fact i'm planning on using the money i save towards a 1jz swap....

it's just that i really can't decide which rims i want.... gold le37's or 20" sterns..... they're both really nice looking (to me of course)


but i do appreciate the feedback i'm getting... half say go 20's the other half is for the jdm performance.... more proof that you will never please'em all

Both rims are sweet, and I applaud either choice you make.

I think you'll wake up one morning and decide what you want, that's what happened to me lol.

I noticed that too. I wonder if one of those wheels are bent or somehow damaged or if he is exaggerating for some reason

don't get the sterns. it's just my opinion, but they look cheap to me.

Sorry I was MIA earlier in this thread.

I say go with thte 19 LE37's in TS Gold. Gold looks soooo nice on white....BTW, the G35/350Z setup is 18 or 19 by 9.5 +22 front and 10.5 +22 rear

I'm not a fan of those 20"s so if you're dead set on 20", I would go with the GT-C in Top Secret Gold...i have to look it up but I'm sure I can get a good fitment in those that will look sick on your car Tommy. I got 18x10+24 and 18x11+19 for my car and was able to pull off a 4in+ lip on the rear. My wheels should be in from Japan in a week or so....maybe you should wait til I post pics before you decide hehe

I would say LE37's but NOT in gold. I like gold but on your car gold wouldnt go with your white/black theme since nothing is gold except for your rims (I think )

Maybe you could try the good old silver face with polished lip, can never go wrong with that, plus it would look good with LE37's. Or maybe if volk has a full mirror polishing deal...

I wanted to put the sterns on my 99SC300 but decided not to because they weigh about 30lbs. I would get the volks. RH also have some nice wheels, check out the R5 I think does wheels would look sick on the SC.
