Well I just got these in and they are no expensive or JDM tyte wheels.They were really cheap with nice fitment compare to other cheap wheels out there. Oh the brand of the wheels? IDK they came unbranded. so beats me.

Sizes are 18x8.5 +25 with 225/40/18 and -5 spacer for the fronts and 18x9.5 +20 with 245/40/18 for the rears.

Before:

After: Oh I decided to get some jdm tyte vinyl since my wheels weren't jdm tyte at all

I liked it in the before pic. The drop is too much, the wheels aren't nicer than the nissan wheels and the green was better than the black.

Are you happy with it? That's all that matters.

Paintjob looks awesome. Did you get that out of a rattle can or spray gun?Also it would look great with these headlight lenses IMO http://phase2motorsports.store....html

Is it just me or is the rear driver wheel running way more camber then the rear pass?

Yes the paint job is rattle canned, I learn that rustoleum lays more even then other spray paint out there, but its still need good prep and even coat

I have tein basic adjustable coilover and it rubs in the front on my coil without camber adjustment(fixed it with obx camber bolt) and also rub as i turn(taking the wheel well liners out doesnt fix it). the rear also rub but it just need a good roll and pull

its the pass. thats more chamber actually, its just the camera angle and i havent got an alignment yet.

Nice, but i honestly think it would look sooooooo much better if you got some rucas and level out the rear camber...

Make the wheels fit like the front and it'll loook tasty. I'm not a big fan of tucking the actual wheel, but if thats the way you like it, go for it. Paint looks good though, not bad.

Did you paint it yourself??? what was your personal process??

dude.. I love your stance... but I hate your rear tail lights haha

If I were you, I'd probably bring out the rears a bit more to the fenders. Do you have RUCAs?

+1 for the OP for doing what he wants. I personally liked it when it was green with the Z wheels but the paint job is very well done. I really like the way the paint turned out but the wheels not so much. Very nice stance too.
