I saw this car at Sherman Oaks Galleria, doesn't seem that bad in person.

It def. caught my eye when I was zooming through the parking lot.

I'm sorry, but these wheels look gross.

And I know forgiato is not cheap.

22's are hot but theres nothing in that rim that interests me besides the size too much white in my opinion needs a little more contrast

22's look horrible on this car... They are way too big.. These hurt suspension handling big time.. But everybody has a different opinion that's just mine. Forged two piece lightweight 20's is about max for me... Volks all the way

But I dont understand this theory unless these are show cars. The bigger you go, the more power you lose unless you find a way to keep the same wheel weight. Dude is probably down 20+ horsepower. Not to mention the loss of performance if you go too big. Transmissions are designed to operate with wheels/tires that have a certain rolling diameter. You can go up but you must do it proportionately. But, there is a LIMIT before you start messing stuff up. AND you guys do know that you need tires, right?lol So your ride will decrease while your chances of bending your rim and being stuck on the side of the road increases, lol. Is it worth it?

I have 19's on my G35 and my buddy has 20's on his. It makes NO sense how much faster my car is....actually it does make sense. I guess it depends on what you want but I personally would not wanna lose the POWER just for a LOOK. I cant see the car when I'm driving...but I can feel it.

+1. Main reason I'm considering 19s as the G is heavy as it is. I do admit though, 20 looks better but I think 19s give a good look/performance combo..
