Gunmetal G games


I think the gunmetal on the 2 silvers looks pretty good.

I do not think you would be disappointed with any of those 3...however I think the gunmetal would look sharp....

I love the AVS Model 5. Had ordered these and four months later was told that they were still unavailable. If you want this wheel, be prepared to wait a long time if they are not in stock somewhere in North America.

So, do you think this setup would be better?

19x9 front 35mm
19x10 rear 45mm

There's no lip on the wheel, so what's really the point of going with a 10" in the back? Maybe I should go 19x9 all the way around.....that way the wheels both have the same offset and sit on the same plane giving that symmetrical look all the way down the side of the car.....that's really the look I'm going for. If I went 19x9 with a 35mm offset, the wheels would be pushed out 8mm more than stock....that's enough for me.

That is a hard choice, I think the gunmetals will look better between the 2 RAYS G-Games but i cant decide if i like those over the Advan 5's. U really have to see them on the car, have u seen any1 with these rims yet?

Yummy! (these are only 18's....19's would look mammoth!!)




Here's a pic of the silver G-Games (19's)




Since the ADVAN's have no lip, I could get away with going 19x9 all the way around, right? No use in going 19x10 in the rear unless the wheel has a lip IMO.

I love those G games!

I think silver on a Silverstone would stand out better.

Can someone give some opinions on this?

I think the staggered setup is preferred. That is why the Touring 6MT has wider tires on the back and the track even has wider wheels on the back [than the front].

Perhaps those with more technical knowledge can comment on the mechanics of why the staggered setup is used.


Quick Reply: Narrowed it down to 2 1/2.....which one?
