yea, dont' listen to the haters. Looks ultra jdm aggressive. Maybe you could take a shot of your car at the same angle as the ones of the skyline, then chop your car ontop of it to see if you like.

Almost makes me wonder what it'd looked like on SB...:P

It might work if you have the body kit, decals, whatever to go with it. If everything is off the wall it will work.

No matter how "rice" they may look... forged monoblock rims cannot be rice no matter how hard they try.

I don't know how to feel about it. The only way I see it working is if green is part of your color scheme. That skyline doesn't look bad from the front with the green banner on the windshield tying it together. If you add green accents/decals then it could work. I think it would look sick on a dark green car.

I think that green is a bit bright. How about anodized green w/ polished lip?

I think a lot of peeple put wheels on to make their car look better and I think what you'll run into is a lot of people that wont like it at all. So you have to be prepared to get a lot of critisim (sorry for spelling lol) from people, epecially non car people. If you are prepared to deal with that then I say if you like it do it, thats all that matters. It would drive me nuts though everyone saying whats with the green wheels.

Its difficult to be JDM and unique these days, but takata green TE-37s wheels get you into both categories.

Do it!! But remember that anything you do to your car would have to work around the rims. The rims will have the force!
