I'm getting 18s. Sorry.

XiP 02-08-2013 05:09 PM

agreed, go with #1 - 19 or 20" wheels

18 lotsa wheel gap >.<

GaleForce 02-08-2013 05:11 PM

Pass on the wheels then. You'll end up buying wheels twice if you buy new 18's. Trust me.

I know it's not what you want to hear... save the money.

The poor bastards spend all day shovelling just to stay on top of it. They appreciate when I help them with the heavy stuff after the plow drives by.

I am not a senior but I will appreciate you too if you come over and clean up my driveway... :bowrofl::bowrofl:

18 is fine, but don't get something with a thick lip, otherwise the spokes gonna be shorter and it'll look like a 17

Check out this thread ms. pint:

Nothing wrong with 18's. Guru loaned me his spare set of 18's when I had my rims painted, and the ride was a marked improvement over the 19's. VDC-OFF will tell you the same thing.

Sure you are ultimately giving up some performance, but for the amount of time you really push your car, a more comfortable ride (relatively speaking).

As far as unsolicited advice, here's mine - save your money to get what you really want or you will be either miserable and/or buying another set of rims.

LMBmikeZ 02-08-2013 05:39 PM

:iagree:x2 18's will leave weird gaps, probably not the look you are going for.

alcheng 02-08-2013 05:42 PM

Am I on Pint's iggyland??? :confused:

18's are great for track use... but for looks only, atleast in my opinion... 18s look odd.. unless you get the baller *** 18s

Nismo89 02-08-2013 06:01 PM

I hope all that are getting snowed in because of the massive blizzard hitting the east coast! are safe and sound*

GaleForce 02-08-2013 06:02 PM

Looks like the Stillen hood scoop.

I've been browsing that thread. I want 18s. I don't care about wheel gap, I already have it. I want the F14s.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if you have a set of nice 18, I don't find 18s looks bad on the Z.

Get a set of nice 18s is 100x better than a set of sh!tty 19s.
