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.

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

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:

18's on a 370z

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

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

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