New rims !!!

hey peps... check out my new rims.. i wanted you guys opinion on my decision, also i decided to go with these Lexani rims instead of the vossen's .. Price difference is over 1k.. and the wheels are almost the exact same!
rims (20inch) i upgraded from the 18s..

What do you think about lowering the car? Pro's & Cons of that?

would it look good to paint the tail lights black just a bit.. not to dark?

Too many pros and cons on this site.....

and painted the tail, i'll guess many will say no. But in the end, its really up to yourself.

Congrats man... I don't know but for me, I wouldn't change my tires. The Enkei wheels are probably the nicest for a G; especially if painted gloss black. I wouldn't paint the tail lights, the G Coupe is a luxurious car. It will ruin the whole concept. As for the drop, well I guess it needs a drop. It's not low to the ground at all and it could use a drop. I was thinking to install Eibach springs for my car but the bumpy roads in Lebanon wouldn't "welcome" my drop.

i believe the tires are different sizes.. like the rear is wider.. i'll get the correct sizes and let you know.. if they are different sizes, what do you recommend ? is that a good or bad thing?

And why would you say that? Is there some kind of information you have about Lexani that would put some backing behind such a comment or are you just being dramatic?

I think it's just the angle of the shot.



Looks good OP!

i said the same thing when i saw that comment.. These Lexani Wheels are made for the G37, also what makes any other wheel any better? are you paying for the name or the look and quality?

Why do the wheels look stretched or "egg shape" in that pic? Need better pics.

Forged wheels are lighter and stronger in most cases and way more $$$$$$, but with that said I think your wheels look great!!!
