wouldnt that show off the discs/calipers more? or will the lug area be bigger and hide it more?
He means that your little brakes are going to look wimpy and tiny in the middle of these big, very open 18" wheels.

He's suggesting that if you enlarge your wheels by 3", you should enlarge your brakes to go with it.

Well, yes and no. Yes to the brakes looking small with the big open 5 spoke design.

And I generally meant that the 5 spoke design would look better with a bigger diameter rim. I didn't mean bigger brakes. But there's always room for both!

Done. I did the G35 a little bit too quick, it's sloppy around some of the edges, but the point stays. The hood hinge, a pillar, and the HID ballasts are still a little red. If I took more time I'd be able to make it clean.



Lumberg, here's your bronze rims a little darker. Tell me if you want them darker or lighter.

I would say black with a black lip would look better, or just hyper silver.

+1! dark bronze and all the others are cool but they don't flow right in my view.
it'll suite a wrx or an evo better but just not for a maxima.
keep the silver, its classy and its better contrast.

I like the 2nd redlip one a lot. but I kinda rather have it in chrome. I would prob get the red maybe but I would not want to be coming off like some ricer.

Just wanted opinions and pictures mostly. I could think wearing a dress is hot, but I'm sure as the hell not going to wear it in public. Get what I mean. Just want to make sure they look good before spending money I don't have on them. Exterior mods are a lot of the times to get looks and attract people anyways. I like when people take interest in my car, but maybe that's just me.
