Default Best wheels on a Silverstone?

Hello there my Z brothers (and a couple sisters)...

I have been waiting on the sidelines to do any modifications... When I do start, I am going to go in this order. Wheels, then body kit, then reflectors (either clear or smoked, depending on what color wheels I get), then exhaust.

I've been looking at several wheels... but none really grab my attention. I don't want to go with Volks, because everyone and their mamas have volks. Something a bit more unique. Also, I've been thinking of maybe going for some black wheels. Any recommendations?

Please post pics as well! Thanks alot.

GramLight 57-Fpro's - 19" and Gunmetal would be bad-***!

I know I am partial.... but I still love the TE-37's in silver.

If not the TE-37's... I would get the new 19" kissin cousin of the TE-37 -- the NISMO LMGT4 ... in silver, of course, with the flat caps.

I think I may have found the "look" I've been wanting. Someone else kinda has it.

I want some dark dark wheels... with a chrome silver ring finish on edge of the wheel. So far, 2 wheels with these 2 qualities came up.

Gram Lights 57 Pro, gunmetal:



or the G-Games 77W/Vaio:





I am currently leaning towards the G-Games because I like the thinner spokes and it's darker. I plan to get a carbon fiber diffuser for the front... to get THIS look:



SEXY!!!

Anyone have information regarding these two wheels? Weight, cost, etc?

i agree completely...
i also like the sf-challenges in gunmetal... (see SS with vertex kit thread)
IMO, the G-games looks cheap.

Well, im a little biased cause i just got these on yesterday...



More pics here.

Volk GT-C's. 19x9.5 +21mm Fronts. 19x10.5 +24mm Rears.

They are wrapped in 245/35 and 275/35 Toyo Proxy T1-S.

I'm have a slight issue with the fronts tho. They look just a little to 'stretched' to me. I really want to sell them, and they have about 50 miles on them. If anyone wants them let me know. That is if i can find some 255/35's some where. If I cant, i guess i'll just have to live with them for a while. Personally, i think that 245 front 275 rear, just doesnt look right, it should be 255 front 275 rear... but then again, what do i know?
