I think I found the wheels I want, but questions and photoshop requests....

Ok, I've had the car for a week now, so I guess it's time to start modding . I'm debating on what type of suspension to go for, but I think I've found the wheels I want, but am debating whether to try something new or not. I was first looking at the Work Varianza T1S's, but think i'm going to go with the Work Varianza SC1's instead. Here is what I have decided:

I'm either going to get the SC1's with a polished center and black accents, like this:



Or I was thinking about doing something unique, which is pretty bold for me, and having the barrels done in a matt black. Can someone photoshop this option for me on a black G37 so I can see what it might look like. An example of the black barrel would be something like this:



Thanks.

Very nice. We do a lot of painted barrel work for our clients, they all love it! I even have it done on my personal car (brushed face w/ matte black barrels)

Do you have a picture of your car with the black barrels? I was also thinking of getting the barrels anodized black. I had the inners done on some old Kinesis that I had. I really would love it if someone could photoshop these wheels with black barrels on a black G37. I'm just so unsure about this, kinda a big expense if I don't like it and have to buy new barrels . I know the picture above with the polish and black accents is definitely as solo says " a panty dropper!" . Without knowing how this black barrel combo is going to look, i'm pretty nervous just ordering them up.

I'm not sure exactly yet, but I figure I should pay around $2,400 or so.

Those are badass.... but just looked up the offsets. Not even close to being right for the G37...... Why did they have to change up this car so much from the Z/35.

Maxi, why would you think that they won't have an offset for the 37? It's a two piece wheel, they can make them in any offset I want. If it were a one piece wheel and they didn't make the offset then I would agree, but with a two piece, custom offsets are available.

Will someone PLEASE photoshop this wheel with a black barrel on a black G for me. Thanks.

Id say this wheel is going to be a common wheel on the 37s... there are already people talking about getting them or have ordered already...

You're right. I looked at a chart very quickly. I've since started researching these as well.

Ok, wheels and coilovers have been ordered . Work SC1's Polished with black accents and BC coilovers. I decided to shine the black barrels, and go with the timeless polished lip. Ordered in a 20x9 and 20x10 (recommended by Work). Going to use 275/30 and 245/35 tires. Offsets? I'm not sure (maybe 31mm front and 44mm rear?), I just told them to make sure that I have ZERO rubbing issues. I don't want to deal with any fender pulling or anything, so they probably won't sit as aggresive as others, but should look real nice all the same. Now I just have to deal with the wait
