Not hating at all!

like I said if your happy than that's all that family matters!

I've seen much worse as well, MUCH WORSE!

But I agree, RBmotoring and other places are great spots to buy used wheels for the price of new cheap wheels

That's what I figured... but being this is a public conversation... I didn't want people thinking otherwise

[REC]

Sounds like you have it bad... my suggested cure is to get new wheels

Be nice to the guy on those TSW's... Even though I wouldn't buy them... I've seen MUCH worse... as long as it's at least a 19... 20 pref... and that width offset in the pic that gives that dish... I wouldn't hate on him if he rocked 'um It's like rocking a Rota on a 240...

People need to shop around for used wheels... RBMotoring etc... you can get the real thing used for what some of the knockoffs go for new sometimes!

Going to run 19x9.5 (20offset) w:/ 3.5" Lip in Front.....and 20x10(25offset) w:/4.5" Lip in Rear.

[PANCAKES1]

You know you can run much lower offsets right?

[REC]

You know you can run much lower offsets right?

Thats the lowest they make in them plus with the 19x9 I have on there right now with a spacer i'm at 20mm in the back and it barely clears. A whole afternoon with a wooden dowe to make that work. I'll be going with a 255/35/20 so it should stretch the tire enough to not rub. Any wheel that wide under +20 would take some serious fender mods to fit.

[PANCAKES1]

Im guessing this is a g50?Cause if its a y33 you can go in the single digit offsets w/ any major mods......trust me

[jltibbs]

Oscar, I really want to know what offset I can run on my G50. I want the deepest dish, even though I know I will have to roll and pull. Let me know what's up.

And to all,

This is one sick thread. Let's keep it up guys!

[thejapino]

Jtibbs, here's an old thread in the Q45 forum with a bunch of examples of what people have fit on G50's. I had this thread bookmarked when I was looking for wheels (scroll down for more aggressive fitment).

zerothread?id=223195

[PANCAKES1]

If you're not worried about a roll or pull then there is no limits!

I usually tell people to make the car fit the rim. Anything is possible and you can look at a rim and tell how much work is gonna be needed but that link "thejapino" posted should be all you need.....

BTW-Man oneton has the sickest fitment on a G50 stateside !

I think I will start with the roll and go from there. I just got the Murano wheels on, so I will be rockin those far a while. Then it's off to sickness.

the VIP forum is becoming the last useful and friendly section on NICO

That's because we force it to be that way. It will stay like that while I'm here. I've said a few times before, anyone wishing to act a fool in here will be taken care of. No questions asked.

[BLACKonBLACK98]

ac supremes are so sexy.

[jltibbs]

I know in multi-piece wheels the 'buttons' are real and functional, but I just can not come to like them. The wheels still look absolutely amazing.

[PANCAKES1]

auto couture supreme

Were those Jimmy's old rims from the Q (auto couture supreme)

MY GOD!!!! If those were 19s those would be mine right now as we speak!!!

18s are is jus too low for me to roll daily around here and looks way too small on a Y33 in person

Man that's some of my favorite parts! That to me sometimes is what seperates a cheap knock off from the real deal! + Superstar lets you change the color of the bolts......SICK!!!!

what

Hahahaha! Same here!

what size are these and whats the price? nevermind the waffles right.......that would be perfect but a little out of my budget. Gorgeous wheels...

[Damicci]

Those waffes are kinda weak setup maybe for something with a higher offset, probably one reason why they are still for sale.

[rbsileighty]

Couldn't agree more... 19's are borderline on a Y33 in my opinion, but they work if the car is STUFFED width/offset wise

Weds Kranze LXZ's still get my vote and I'll be keeping an eye out for a set for sure (actually found these in an old "for sale" add):

[PANCAKES1]

Those were Grant's old rims

I can't remember the offsets but they were in the negatives.....

Only problem w/ wedz is there's not a whole lot to choose from and everybody is getting the same wheel.....

[rbsileighty]

I was browsing the Japan site... http://www.weds.co.jp/products/index.html

Some new options that aren't to bad so act now!

If you have friends over there (and/or work for a large Japanese company like I do)... you can get them without getting yanked on the price

Outside of having to space the crap out of them (20x10 +39 is as deep as they go ) CONNOISSEUR No.51C's would be one sweet ticket I never see

yeah, the waffe's are two different Diameters? why would someone want 19's and 20's on the same car?

and does the bigger wheel go on the front?

Yea.... like I said not much to choose from. There at least 3 of those that everybody ends up getting. Everybody is rockin those bazreia over here and the LXZ are pretty popular as well from what I've seen.......
