Thinking of getting new rims, would like to know what you think
I was thinking of getting new rims for my nismo 370. I was thinking about getting the Volk GTS in titanium gunmetal. My nismo is black. I was wondering what everyone thinks about this set up? Also i have no idea what offset to get. I would like the rims to sit flush. I welcome and ideas and comments. thanks

if you want flush rims...
19x9.5 +22 up front and 19x10.5 +12 in the rear... you can always recalculate the offset based on what sized wheels you want (read: width not radius) |

Offset will depend on what size you get (ie 19x9 or 19x9.5). I do not think any Nismo has gotten GTS yet, but a few coupes have I believe. Black with gunmetal may not be the best option, but hard to tell without seeing it.

Sorry I failed to put what size i wanted before. I am looking at getting 19x9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear. I was also thinking about getting all black GTS but i think that all black ones kind of take away from the detail of the rims. I used to have a set of gun metal GTS on my old 350z that was san marino Blue and i really liked them. But not sure how they would look on my black nismo. I am thinking that may be they wont look so good with gun metal but its hard to say with out putting them on. That is why I wanted to ask everyone as too what they think. Thank you so fare for all the imput.

I can't justify replacing the stock forged rays that weigh 20lbs front, 22lbs back, as big and wide as they are, that's light. Due to looks however, I'm going to powder coat them gunmetal on my platinum graphite car.

I think Gunmetal pretty much looks good on any color and IMO it's a great idea on black. Sometimes black on black looks cool but with no contrast at all your nice wheels can get lost on the giant black
