Help LBC pick his next set of wheels! **Updated W pics!**

[LongBeachCoupe]

Ok, so I took the 20s off.. I think for the last time I think... They will be put up for sale shortly on craigslist..

I just put a set of 18s on...

They are temporary (and also will be sold shortly after I find the "final wheel) and then I am going to have my "final" wheel which will be powdercoated and is going to be one of the following choices... I am looking for an OEM wheel.

Anyways, to decide that final wheel.... One of my favorites is the 350z wheel...

Or a little bit more is the g37 wheel

the M45 wheel...

Thoughts on any other wheel styles?Like one of the above?

I will start talking color schemes once I decide on a wheel...

[mcheddadi]

I say g37s, tenzo type M, forgestar f14, rs4 style rims, Gravity Gullflame rims or phenom's Moda Md2 (they look particulary good on black cars)

[headhunt3r]

I've never been a crazy fan of the G37 wheels. If I had to rank them, it'd be in this order:

1. M45 wheels2. 350z wheels (because they're much much more common than the M45)3. G37 wheels

Ever since I saw the M45 wheels on Midian's coupe, I thought they looked so sick on the coupe. Another consideration is that the 350z wheels would be a staggered setup, which I know some don't like due to tire costs.

Interesting scheme on the 350z wheels...

I wish i could snag a set of the 370z wheels, but they are a fortune right now..

^^^^^THAT................is SEXY

as far as the choices you provided....I personally love the look of the M45 wheels. Powdercoat those gunmetal or black and they would be PURE

[toxik]

lol now it makes sense. joe mentioned to me last night that brian was inquiring on 370z wheels hahaha.

out of all of those the m45 wheels are my favorite. and not too many coupes have em at that.

looks good Brian

I'm guessing since they are temp. you didnt have to buy them or they were really cheap. Unless you are just THAT much of a baller and you buy wheels at will until you find one that looks good lol

[LongBeachCoupe]

Well I did take off my "drug dealer" 20s lol....The 18s were picked up around a year ago and were never mounted just out of sheer lazyness... I originally bought them to drive thru the winter (winter of 08) because the 20s were summer tires, but I didnt swap them...

The 20s arent safe to drive with the amount of tread they have in the snow, so they had to go... but since I got these black/red wheels my taste has changed a bit, and as long as I keep them clean, I should be able to get out what I put into them.

[BLKmomba1]

hey bri i have to admit those Z rims with the red trim are kinda hot man! lowprofile but still fly as FK!

[rcboy514]

I see.....I didn't think the 20s were toooo drug dealerish. It would have been diff. if they are solid chrome lol.

and for what your using them for those 18s look really nice, much much better than having to go back to stock. plus improved acceleration

[sammyboy]

M45 wheels all the way.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Thats one thing i forgot to mention... There is such a significant difference in the acceleration! The extra force required to spin those heavy 20s (on my 2.5) wasnt really noticed until I switched to the 18s, it feels like its a whole new car!

[DaCoupe]

[jaxcoupe]

I say 350z wheels

[zilla19]

[zilla19]

[terrellshedrick]

They look nice, B. I want your rims after you choose. lol 2nd thought, after seeing them on ZILLAS whip, i may have to pass, it doesnt stand out as much when your car is red.. ahhh! thats why i gotta go gold. But um go z for your final. ..

[Alaron]

Just saw this since I'm still doing the whole international traveling thing.. but I still think you should go a little more unique LBC. :P . Like so :
