Wheels for the Skyline

This is one of those speak now or forever hold your piece things:

There are some requirements to this little thread:

1) The wheel must come in an 18x10 to 10.5 or a 19x10 to 10.5
2) There must be a considerable offset on them
3) All wheels should be submitted with pics to allow us to look over them and see what we think.


I think the issue is that I don't know of enough really good wheel manufacturers to make a solid decision on this matter. Opinions here would be absolutley awesome.

Thanks.

Well of course there is always the beautiful and talented PIAA Super Rozza's with the 19x9 Sam's Club 2.5" lip and then the 19x10 double Sam's Club 5" lip!

What exactly are you getting these wheels for? Looks? performance? What style are you looking at getting? mesh, multispoke, 5 star, split spoke?

Flat fronts......They will most likely be 18's for more performance related wheels. Best examples I can come up with areteh Volk GT-P's or the HRE comp's, 6 spoke flat fronts. Search them and you'll get a good picture of what i want.

Oh didn't know you wanted lip, since you said flat face. Usually the lighter wheels are going to be single piece.

dude you don't need lip with Advan RG's...with a 10 or 11" wide wheel in the back, it'll be super concave. That's JDM foo, you don't need a bling lip. Trust us aZn's.

i would have to agree with moog, JDM concave look would be the best look for the Skyline, just get a low aggressive offset and you will see the light, do some research on JDM sites and you will see how much better the concave look will be ...
