Gunmetal, silver, or even chrome would look better with your grey paint then those white wheels will. IMO.

Matte black in the Nismo's would be beautiful. White rims are just ugly

white rims can look good on light colored cars


look at nokeone's S13 coupe...light blue w/ white rims, looks good

Any of those would look cool, as long as they aren't white, I hate white rims.

My friend had white TE37's on a gunmetal car and I thought it looked great. If I were you, I'd go with either the Nismo's or the Volks. Whichever you find a better size on, go with that one.

IMO:

NISMO LM-GT4 = Look super ugly
VOLK TE-37 = Look good but shitty offset's (LE-37's) are much better with way better offsets offered.
VOLK CE28N = 18's or bigger might look ok

Ian
02-08-2005, 02:31 PM
i think some advan 3 spokes would look sick on your car

i think he wants us to choose from his choices. id go NISMO. but yea, white isnt all that. i prefer black and polish or bronze.

Twinkie
02-08-2005, 07:24 PM

silviasichigo
02-09-2005, 12:26 AM
Yeah I have alot of choices but the ones I posted were under $1000 and most were under $500 so I appreciate the input.

Are those 20 series tires you have pictured on those Nismo rims? Ack!! Get something 17 inch with some 3 dimension texture to it....not the flat 5,6,7,8 star designs...thats so played out. If you're in Japan as your sig suggests I would definately use that to your advantage and not rock some weak shit (some of your photoshops look like 14 inch rims...which Im assuming wasnt intended?) You need something like Work VS-XX (http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/index/vs-xx/vs-xx.html) ...(yellow gold centers w/ chrome lip!!!!) or some other nice 3 peice wheels that you can take apart, polish up, and powder coat whatever you want. It's up to you tho....depends on your style.

Bronze TE37.

White rims = ugly, esp. with that colour.

02-09-2005, 06:07 PM
i remember last time someone used nekopunch's pic he got upset...But i still like those Blue TE37s. Get Those! White will jus attract Brake dust and dirt and grim....

Those can't be TE37's they dont offer those offset's in TE37's that would make those spokes look sunk like they are............also the spokes look fatter, I think those are LE37's, also LE's you can get in a wide variety of offsets down to like zero offset.

s14unimog
02-09-2005, 10:00 PM
what is the offset on that car???..i like

I was looking in a VOLK catalog and didn't see anything offered anything less than a +40 for the TE's unless they where for trucks/SUV's then the offsets where a bit lower if I recall, but I do rememnber the VOLK LE's haven very low offsets and they look almost identical to the VOLK TE's. What size and offset are those?

Dousan_PG
02-09-2005, 10:34 PM
s14 (stock fenders mad roll and pull and camber)
17x9.5 +12
18x10.5 +15

skyline:
18x9.5 +12 all around

look at the links and compare the sizing/offsets.
comes down to this:
LEs suck and are retarded
TEs fucking rules

17x9 +0
um.nothing even close in LE
nothing
sizes are limted too

you were looking at a shit catalog for common gay USA honda/suv sizes

low offset is a 90+ day wait on order for them

I would get a set of TE37's or Nismo's but white rims on your car doesnt flow very well. I think silver would be a great rim color on your car.

:stupid:

Those white rims look HORRID, especially on that car.

I'd say deep-dish VIP would look sick on that car.
