18" wheel pic thread
 

Only 1 post per set of wheels


Only max of 4 pics please and preferably 1 of the wheel, 1 of the whole side of car, one from the front at an angle, and one shot down the side showing the fit at the fender. These are just guideline suggestions, but would be good to include as many of those views as you can in your 4 shots.


Please provide as much info as you can such as~

• Wheel Brand & Model

• Wheel Sizes, including offset

• Tire sizes

• Wheel weight (if known)

• Big Brake clearance

• If Spacers are being used

Suspension info is optional, but if your car requires excessive camber or fender work to make the wheels fit Please include that :)

***Please keep ANY replies limited to specific questions about the wheels. To keep this thread as useful and easy to navigate as possible, if you like the wheels send a PM to the OP or push the thanks button. Really appreciate if you guys/gals can stick to these guidelines.



Thanks for your contributions, hopefully this can become a concise and useful folder for those wanting to see what's out there, and how they look on our cars :biggthumpup:

When I first bought my car, a buddy of mine looked at the design and called them duckfeet. I mentioned it here on the forum, and it stuck. To this day, if someone says "duckfeet", you know they're talking about the OEM Sport Package 18" rims.

These are my winter wheels, mounted with snow tires.

18" Enkie G37 Sport Sedan wheels
Staggered at 18x7.5" in the front, 18x8.5" in the rear.

In the pics below, they're dropped on Swift lowering springs front and year, with 15mm wheel spacer adapters.

As a general rule, no one here really likes the duckfeet. I think when dropped and spaced, they look OK. Either way... winter wheels.

John, pretty crazy how a nice setup can make even your snow duckfeet look pretty damn good:biggthumpup:

Sorry for posting without a picture but man, 18's really look great!

Front fenders are just flat rolled, and pushed out about 3-5mm. Alignment is still within spec and have about a finger's worth of space when tucked.

Also, my driveway isn't exactly even, so that accounts for the fender gap. Otherwise, it sits like my other pictures above.

Volk Racing VR.G2
18x9 +35 square
265/35R18 square Dunlop Direzza ZII
~18 lb (BMW fitment of 18x9 is 17.8)
Clears Akebono brakes
Eibach Pro-Kit spring, no spacers, no rolling, camber within factory limits, no rubbing

I don't recommend this tire/size for the G for the street, it loses about 3/4 inch of ride height and rides very harshly, not to mention speedometer/odometer error. They were perfectly good tires though and I didn't want to junk them.
Pictures aren't good to get a sense of how car really "looks" but shows fitment well.

Well, here in the Northwest with its rain, those "duckfeet" fit right at home.

I like your car a lot! The wheel essentially is one of many Infiniti 5 spoke STAR wheel. Dating back to the Cragar's of the 60's I've seen "star" 5 spoke wheel insets for nearly 60 years.

I've got the duckfeet wheels on a G37xS, and I'm wondering if I should just leave them and lower the car or consider a wheel and tire change.

Anyway, thanks for the post!:JAMIN:
