i want to get the cl member opinion as which one of these two do you think would look better on a 03' SD GS3
17" or 18"
Vela Modular 2 Piece from OZ or RacingHart CR multi piece.

sorry guys, have not figure out how to post picture yet. go to this website to check out the two wheels i
refering to.

thanks in advance for your input

 

Out of those two wheels I like the Racing Hart CR better. The design of the OZ wheel makes it look smaller than it actually is. And definately get 18's.





The M5 is a nice wheel also.

 

tlex,
thanks for posting the pics and helping out.

 

tlex,
do you think the 18' are more harsh and more tire and road noise then the 17'.
i agreed the 18' will look better for the car but i'm concern about ride quality also.
what does everyone think?

 

forget 17" and 18". Go with either 19's or 20's. Your ride will be just as smooth, and the look of your car will be alot more appealing to you and others that see it.

 

sorry, I didn't clarify my response. Go with either 19 up front and 20 in the rear, or go 19's all the way around. With 20's in the rear, you will need to go with a continental 255/30/20. Tires are pretty expensive for this setup, but the end result and the look you will pull off will be well worth it.

 

Racing Hart in 19.

 

18's will be perfect for you. You'll get the best of both worlds....looks and comfort.

17's will be comfortable but will look too small. 19's will look beautiful but comfort will suffer alittle do to less rubber on the rim.

And 20's won't fit without modifications to the fender wells.

18's with a drop!

 

U don't need any mod on the fenders to fit 20's

 

Has anyone ordered from streetdreams.org? They have a really good price on the wheel I want.

 

I have the OZ Vela 3 piece on my car in 18s. I like the wheels a lot....I do wish they were 19s, but since i live in nyc i didnt want to risk going any bigger than 18s. If u can, i suggest go atleast with 19s on ur car.

 

Here are some 19" RH M5's on my SC but came off an IS.

 

man, thats a hard choice between the OZ and CR's, both have good size lips and if you staggered the fronts and backs , yours would be off the hook, im gonna lean towards the CR's, imp 19x8.5 and 19x10, I got aquote on those same wheels amonth ago from Wheel Warehouse in socal for $3500 OTD .

 

I say go with the Racing Hart in 18 or 19". I like the look of the six spoke on an IS

 

RNM GS3,
is it possible that you can post some pics of your car with the vela iii and i would like to see how it looks
if possible. i do like the oz a lot, i'm leaning toward the vela two pieces 18'.
thanks.
