Trying to decide what will look good on my Green 5th Gen.

Rollin on twinkies.

On 18's

Thanks. Any other suggestions are welcome.

 

Search around for some wheels that WON'T bend when they hit the first pothole they see.

 

Go with the 20's. You had better put some 35 series on them though. You can also kiss any fast acceleration goodbye!

 

go with the 18's, but I would suggest going with a "brand name" wheel, not the ones listed, which are probably not very strong. Leave the 20s for the Escalades.

 

^ I went with OEM Infiniti 18's.... OEM: Always a good decision!

 

to that...but man, you have GOT to drop the front of your whip!!

 

Tru with the infiniti 18's, and I've already got a Maxspeed Drop up front. (not seen in pic). Nothing Dramatic, but enough to get rid of my H2 look.

 

I will be the 3rd person (I believe) to say, but I will say it anyways: go with the brand name wheels, and before you buy them make sure to check google if the wheels you are buying are strong and will not bend after going over the first pothole you'll encounter.

Out of these two I would go with the 18s.

 

I think Irish meant SilverGLE should lower his car more in the front.

20's are a bit much, but there have been a few 5th gens on here that look decent with their's. But not many.

 

yup.

True, but if you're going with 20s, they need to be STRONG (since there's not much tire seperating them from the road) and LIGHT (so your car isn't slow as crap). STRONG and LIGHT and 20" add up to $$$. Those wheels you posted up there are like $100 each....probably neither strong nor light.

 

My advice would be to check with some of our vendors on this site. Typically Hendrick (maxed up) has some pretty sweet wheel packages priced really well.

 

Oh...thread title FTMF

 

lol

dey see me rollin on.... spinner hubcaps


Go with 18's 19's at most and get ready to spend some $$$ you get what you pay for.

 

Would you guys concider Axis a brand name? I really like 18" Hiro's, would they be strong and light?

 

LOL ...Was waiting to see who would catch that. But yes Irish, you and the others are right about 20's being slow. I remember the chrome 18's I had on my Sterlin Mist and Acceleration was less than exciting FTL

 

Axis wheels are very well known and have been used by many .Org members (myself included)

The Hiro is not really a lightweight or strong wheel unfortunately. These are actually prone to cracking.

 

Which Axis would you suggest then?

thanks for the info by the way

 

18" > twinkies in terms of looks IMO - avoids the steamroller look. Your suspension components and passangers will appreciate the smaller wheels as well.

 

Yeah, no kidding! It looks bad... I wish the 245/45's didn't rub, or I'd put those up front, too.

 

no 25" no care. in fact, lift it and shove some 32" in there

i say 18 but then again, it's your car, tires and bearings

 

"steamroller look" FTW

I'm gonna have to use that in the future.

 

IBTL...that a mod is posting in

 

thanks will do.

Is that what you're rollin' on now? Looks good.

 

total BS...Axis Hiro wheels are plenty strong , if you get 18's or 19's you'll be fine

 

You should buy my wheels...

 

I should huh? I'll take a look at them as soon as cardomain gets its siht together.

 

what does the size have to do with strength?

 

the 18's looks really nice....

 

Whatever you decide to do, do it soon so we can put this thread behind us...
