I'm sure the Nismos were best for performance, but the Luff M1s look pretty sweet. I've always liked those wheels; a lot!

Looks good, need a better pic though. Bet the LMGT4's made the car feel quicker compared to the 19's.

How much slower with the 19" compared to the 18"...major difference? Is it less of a diff from the 18" OE wheels to the 19"?

Not that bad, just a little noticeablely slower/heavier. Nothing to cry over or deter myself from these wheels...

i just went for 18 inch lmgt4's to 19 inch volk gts. i dont think i have noticed much of a difference but i am now thinking of keeping mg nismo wheels for track use unless someone offers me a decent price on them.

I'm sure the volk's are lighter than my wheels though..

I think the matted face looks sick! Either way though, the rims will look awesome. If you're going to go through the trouble of powder coating them, you may want to think of a diff color with a nice contrast, if you're not already totally sold on black...


BTW I'm from the SouthSac/ElkGrove area.
