New Setup

I need some opinions on this setup or change of stile, it's not that im tired of the 20" but i want a new look i currently have 20x9.5's all around with 245/30/20's
and i want to go with 19" staggered.
this is what my setup looks like now.










these are the wheels iv been looking at as the change of stile that i want.

Any specs on your offsets and such, I'm looking at some 19 x 9, and 19 x 8.5 rims

It's constructive criticism. Bling is ugly.

What they are tryin to say is that this type of bling isn't too appealing..

They rather see this car go harder down the block sittin proper!

You could actually rock a bronze type of wheel.. but it would have to be very selective and a close match to what you have.

I like the stance, just not the chrome. A little too Cali cruiser for me, maybe with a black rim you could make it look more sport sedan than lowrider.

The wheels you are thinking about switching to look nice. I'd so go for it.

Stance is great. Wheels are ugly. You have the right idea with the XXR's. The 522's are a beautiful, aggressive wheel. Go with those, they'll look great.

18"s are pleanty big go with 8.5's and 9.5's and run 215/45/18 and 225/45/18 you will get a nice stretch and the fitment will be on point. 19's are just too big imo

Ever thought about powder coating your current rims to w/e color you'd prefer & add spacers in the rear.

Those XXRs are clean as hell.

I'd ditch my Rotas for a set if I could afford them.

there like just over $500 and the offsets and sizes are unbeatable at that price the only thing that sets me off is the multi lug

Yeah, the multi-lug thing is kind of a letdown, but that also means they'll fit almost any car. With a five-lug pattern, of course.

Which means if you like them that much, you could possibly move them to your next vehicle.

Might look into a set of them for my Z down the road.

If you want XXRs, the 518's are my choice. AND they have a 5 lug pattern.

....true that but his car is actually in pretty good condition.


OP i think u should keep your wheels but i do have a few grips about ur setup.

i would go with a matte silver color front grill. get some clear corners and get rid of the black SE taillights and switch over to the chrome 02-03 taillights.
a nice stillen aero body kit wud complete your setup and ur done!

Both rims look good on the max, it depends on if your going for an aggressive(19" staggered) or laid back(dubs you already have on) look. I would say if you are going to go with the aggressive look to at least tint your windows to add some dark color to your ride to help bring out the rims...either way you go your good though I see a little of both in my area

yes i want them staggered and i would like them in a 19" i just don't want to make any additional changes to the car then what i have i put into it more than what i wanted like new coil overs tire head light and fog new axles and the car runs great even tough the car runs a little tuffer in the winter but still great & i'm looking into investing money on a se-R motor but i'm still looking into it.
But all your feed back is more than useful...

They probably have a funky (high) offset.

i personally love your car as is..its your style and you are doing it well. were you on coilovers? i forgot when you originally posted up on suggestions of this car.

i kinda agree w/ GH since chromie is more of your style...keep away from the 'it' crowd and do your thing..nicely. but the wheels you selected, nice...19x9 +30 up front and maybe a 19x10 +35 out back
