Stretched vs. Meaty (New set up)
So I got my new wheels/tires in...
Previous Set-up:
Work Emotion XD9s (18x10 +18 all around)
Sumitomo HTR ZIII (265x35x18 all around)
Project Kics Spacers (Only rear, 15mm)
Picture:
New Set-up:
Rota SVNs (18x9 +20 F, 18x10 +20 R)
Nitto NT05s (265x35x18 F, 285x35x18 R)
NO SPACERS!
Pictures:
Plz give me some input on what you guys think... Honestly, I love how clean the XD9s look and the lip is way deeper on the XD9s. Also the color was always nice, silver on silver kept it clean... however, the Black wheels w/ meaty tires seem more aggressive to me.
Here's my solution: I'm considering powder coating the XD9s, either flat black or Mag Blue... maybe even gunmetal. Switching the tires from the XD9s to my Rotas, and vice versa (I'm starting to drift and I don't wish to drift on XD9s... Rotas tho, I don't mind beating up). Keep the Rotas as a drift wheel, and my XD9s as daily drivers w/ NT05s for whenever I feel like taking it to the drag strip (I'm also going boosted this week!). The Rotas, you can't really appreciate because of the lighting and they're dirty...

Thats what she said.
I am running 285/35/18 x 4 and loving it. 18x10.5 all around no
Spacers. What are your thoughts on the vehicle's feedback on
265 f 285 r?
You've got some good ideas. Try to keep the blue more towards
Formula than mag IMO ... Glgl

Those XD9s are a great looking wheel and that color is very sic. You dont see many of them. I am a big fan of black and run them on my Z. I agree that black tends to look more aggressive. The XDs to me look more high end and exotic. Tough call. IF you powder coat them maybe do satin instead of flat. GL
