Default Post Pics of your 18's

ok, i will be getting new wheels in the near future and i am torn between getting 18's or 19's. i know the pros and cons of each and i am leaning towards 18's but i am worried it wont look as good (currently have 19's). i just want to see some sick z's on 18's.
so if you can, please post up some pics of your 18's.

thanks guys.

These are racinghart CP S10's. My opinion is if you go 18's you really shouldn't get a fat lip on the rims. It makes them look smaller than they actually are.

NitrouZ is selling some 18 inch TE's, you might have to search around a little for more pics of the wheels but there are tons of pics of his car on here.

There is also a set of RPF1's for sale right now, they are dope 18's.

These Work wheels are a great option. They're similar to mine because they're hella concave. Thats whats cool with staggered wheels with little to no lip, they're so concave in person it really gives a unique style when it comes to after market wheels on a Z. In the back angle pic on my previous post you can see how concave mine are and these Works are similar in that fashion

The key to making 18's look good is a wheel with no lip, 35 series tire and slam it.

18" Advan RGII 265/35/18 on all four corners.

here's a great example of how much bigger a non lipped 18 looks compared with one with a lip.https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=241601

I agree on the no lip if you are getting 18's....it just doesn't look right IMO. If you want a huge lip...then you should get 19's. I have the same problem.
