I do not understand why you need to have aftermarket wheels, technically if you want to argue symantics, anyone replacing their wheels with nismo, nissan/infiniti wheels would not qualify either as they are genuine nissan parts. Secondly anyone who is going for performance may not want to replace the stock 17" rims, with heavier aftermarket wheels. Lighter wheels generally mean faster acceleration, breaking, and better handling. Lets face it a lot of aftermarket wheels are heavier then the stocks.

Ill address them all... Aftermarket means that they were added after the car rolled off the floor... maybe putting the Z wheels wouldnt count... but nismo wheels are not offered from the factory.. ergo.. aftermarket.

In addition, this isnt a perfomance thread... or it would have stated.. lightweight wheels and atleast X engine mods.... My wheels are heavier than the stock wheels without question... but i think they provide superior handling compared to stock wheels (tires really)...

When someone says the "sexiest" do you think... 1. whose the skinniest girl around?2. which girl can bench her own weight3. which girl looks best

#3! Johnny tell em what hes won!

[dangeris]

so do we post the pics up on here?

Sexy is subjective, I have seen guys think a girl is sexy cause she is the skinniest but her face is like a bucket of smashed ***holes.

That being said I still think the stock wheels look better then half the wheels posted, and some aftermarket wheels posted better then the stock wheels.

Yes Dangeris, get your sexy a$$ coupe on here!!!

I understand your points, but i put those requirements because, as Brian mentioned, those are pretty general guidelines for a non stock vehicle. regarding the wheels, well, even cars that are going for performance know that the stock wheels on our A/C are NOT performance wheels... 215/55 tires??? seriously, you can't even mention that and performance in the same sentence. i attend car shows all the time, and the only performance minded cars that would even dream of showing up with factory wheels are sports cars with 9-10" wide, lightweight, forged alloy wheels... that's performance.. the stock A/C wheels are garbage, and frankly, I don't think anyone with stock A/C wheels would get a vote on this poll when compared against the other cars that will be posted! Have you seen dangeris's car???

Hope that answers your question about stock wheels!!

Right I know that our wheels are not performance wheels, what I am saying is why exclude someone with stock wheels 1) because they might like the stock wheels 2) they do not want to degrade the handling of the car by adding more unsprung weight 3) They still have yet to find the wheels they want on their coupe.

I bet if dangeris put the stocks back his coupe he could still get more votes then most of the coupes.

1. Nismo is aftermarket.

2. In no way the stocks are performance, 24lbs per wheel with uber bad tires, weighing in a total of 50lbs per wheel/tire combo.

3. You can find many 18's and 19's under 24lbs per wheel. You get what you pay for(most of the time). JDM Tuner wheels FTW!

Again I never said they were performance, (but and they are not **** wheels either, the tires yes, the wheels not so much). I was talking about downgrading performance, by getting heavier wheels.

Yes you get what you pay for but what I am saying is a lot of aftermarket wheels are cheap and heavy. I am about to purchase 19" forged rims for that reason, bigger, wider, looks better and lighter then the stock wheels. Technically not aftermarket since they are infiniti wheels.

Just a side note you do know that the stock 3.5 coupe wheels are made by enkei right, one of those JDM Tuner Wheel companies.

I vote for Rob!

I wish I could play, my car won't be done until late September. Featuring tons of exterior and performance mods.

Yea man, I know exactly what you car is gonna look like when its done... we'll do an upgraded poll then so you can show off your goods!!!

I think most guys have pics already uploaded, I'll grab a few abd stick em on the poll page...

Right I know that our wheels are not performance wheels, what I am saying is why exclude someone with stock wheels 1) because they might like the stock wheels

no offense my man, but I don't really feel like I need to keep explaining myself, I hate the stock wheels, and I don't want to see a vehicle on the poll with one ... I really initially put it on there so that folks would have an idea of what we're looking for regarding cars being submitted. Usually, wheels are one of the first things done, I doubt there's a single person on this forum that has a "truely modded" car still sporting the stock wheels... even dangeris waited to post his car until just before he got the wheels on there.

2) they do not want to degrade the handling of the car by adding more unsprung weight

I have 20" wheels on my car that are heavy and not sporty, but I gaurantee that my wheels and tires handle better than the stockers any day of the week, dry or wet! There's no degradation of handling!

my entry

[08altima35]

I'll have my car back on thursday and i'll be installing a bunch of stuff this weekend. prokit, stillen rsb, r. endlinks, fm bodykit, MC 8000k hids, injen short ram ahhhh, i don't think there's any need for a intake anymore, i'll have some wheels and tires of my employers choosing for the dub show, (june 7th, dallas convention center) that we will be selling for a rediculously cheap price at the show as my wheels are being custom made as we speak and don't ask because i'm keeping them a secret until i have pics of them installed. alota work, very little time. should be fun!will i qualify 5 mods as HID's don't count?

Lighter wheels generally mean faster acceleration, breaking, and better handling. Lets face it a lot of aftermarket wheels are heavier then the stocks.

Simply put - wheels are the biggest visual modification you can make to a car besides a bodykit or custom paint job. Think about it like a calendar - would you buy a calendar with 12 months of stock altimas. (dont answer that - because I know there are probably a few of you who would )

Speaking of which I'm sure some of these pics will be submitted for the Nico calendar right??

Unfortunately - there is not a WHOLE lot of aftermarket products out yet - so after wheels, and Stillen - not much is left. So it might be hard to meet the 5 mod quota. I say Infinti and Z rims should be considered mods especially if they have done the other 4 mods.

So Dr.Rob - you understand this means you have to do full size pictures of your car and not those punk aZZ thumbnails

Tough crowd.

If Adidas had a different grille with the fascia on his Coupe I'd vote for him.

[mcheddadi]

HA!

[alphapig]

HA!

What are the 5 mods sir? All I can count is two, the wheels and the intake. The Razo shift knob doesn't count, I believe. :P

[mcheddadi]

...eibach drop, stillen dampers, injen intake, red painted calipers, front and rear endlinks, 19 inch wheels, shift knob, lower carriageworks bumper grille...

dude, seriously

[alphapig]

Lol wait I can't tell if you are serious or not.

Granted, I forgot the Eibach. But dampers, caliper paint, shift knob, bolt on grille?

That would mean that my ride qualifies with room to spare... But some cars just need to stay out of this, and let the likes of Addidas, Dangeris, and that dude with the white/black/red thing.

[mcheddadi]

bah, that pic is a photoshop anyways, I'm not participating in this. I just wanted an excuse to post it somewhere lol

[rjdmmfl1]

will i qualify 5 mods as HID's don't count?

get the **** outta here...lol... heck yeah you'll count... get that stuff installed and put those pics up mang... can't wait to see and hear the final product... and for real, its all love homie, but ITS ABOUT D*MN TIME

[Hussain]

[rjdmmfl1]

So Dr.Rob - you understand this means you have to do full size pictures of your car and not those punk aZZ thumbnails

the thumbnails are just for my signature! Of course I'll put full size pictures... I'm gonna steal other folks' pics off of here, and use them for the poll thread!

oh you know it, but again and always, so worth the wait. a couple friends are rolling out to houston with me so i'll make sure to get some idle, street, and highway vids if the weather is nice on the way back to dallas. i should have pics with everything installed sometime before the end of next week. then last but not least - the sound system (maybe in a month or so, but nothing more that a sub, deck, and new speakers.). i'll be emailing you doc
