Any pic's with custom 18in wheels?

jnkhan82 · 07-12-2010, 09:37 PM

Hey,

I'm still undecided between going 18 or 19.

Anyone have any pic's with a z with 18's on. non OEM

I've seen tons of 19in pictures, scared I might bend the rims on NYC roads.

Also anyone know how many inch drop the 2.5 sports package has?

Thanks in advance.

My personal opinion is 19"s make the M-Coupe look shorter and smaller. I prefer 18"s.

Here is my car with 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 Apex ARC 8 Hyperblack rims:

I think more than the size, you should look into the wheel's construction. Better made wheels like Flow Formed (Forgestar, Advan, and BBS) or Forged (BBS, Volk, and HRE) wheels will withstand potholes a lot better! These are a great option if you're looking for REALLY lightweight 18" setup for your car:

I have the silver ones for my e46. These won't fit the M. I don't think the offset works...
but I think the pattern is cool. I threw on the ContiExtremeContact DWS...
