What Wheels Should I Go With?

[brother_david]

I've got an offer to wheels cheap from a certain store, they dont offer alot of rims, but still some, these are the different rims i'm thinking of, so what do you think, should i go with 18" or 19" for my R33 Gtst? And what rims should i go with, if i shop from this store?

Exists in 18" only

Exists in both 18" and 19"

Cheers

Your the guy that wanted to paint your r33 right? If your going to paint it yellow go for a set of white 18s or a nice set of black 18s with polished lip, look hell nice. From the pic you've got above I rekon the forth ones looks nice. Best to get 18s in my opinion because its the tyres thats going to hurt your wallet mate and 19s are damn expensive. If money arent a problem for you then hell yeah go for 19s.

[brother_david]

Yep, thats me

Well, the main thing i worry about with 19s is that the car might look a bit offroad since its not 'show-low'.

before going 19's, consider ride quality but more to the point, if you going to start making a bit of power then 19's wont do, especially if your going to take it to the track...

At least with 18's you can get some very nice rubber for traction and track days...

Prepare for a sore butt if you have 19" as the ride comfort will basically go down the drain.

Also 19" tyres are expensive (comparatively) to 18".

coilovers + 19s + low profile rubber = no more ride comfort...

Not to mention the cost of 19" rubber as compared to 18s.

I vote the 2nd one from the top, they look kinda like the Blitz technospeed wheel

Go 18s!

[brother_david]

Ok, you've convinced me

Im going for 18s!

So, so far i've got 1 vote for nr 2, and 1 vote for nr 4.

To bad nr 1 doesnt exist in 19", cause that would have looked nice! But they might look a bit less good in 18".

I would probably gone for nr 4, if it had a wider lip, but now im not sure...

Yeah number two is not bad, four is nice but its a fairly common design Ive noticed. So its up to which ones you like more mate.
