trying to decide on wheel sizes

Caravanshaka · 06-15-2009, 09:40 PM

I googled "HRE 590r sizes" and one of the top 2 or 3 places had 18-20 inch diameter with 9-12.5 sizes. I can't remember the exact place but it shouldn't be hard to spot if you google that phrase. Problem is they were like $1,800 each or something like that.

That finish I linked would look great with the platinum graphite, the big polished lip would really make the wheels stand out as well.

If you go chrome with 20" wheels you will likely experience what you did with your G35, a little slower response and lower gas mileage. This is because chrome wheels are HEAVY. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that those wheels were 35+lbs each. If you go with a volk monoblock wheel you are looking at low 20's in weight, which is a tiny bit lighter than the stock rays 19" from the sport package, so you won't have that issue.

But in general, yes, 20's are more for looks, 19's are a good mix of looks and performance, and 18's are great for the track.
