IP on GTR Wheels? Photoshop inside

I've been looking for bigger wheels for traction and a different look. The GTR wheels seem like a good option for traction and handling. I did a quick photoshop of the wheels. Opinions?

Looks good and all but if I were you I'd invest in some lighter weight 19's (considering you are TT'd, I assume you would want better tire selection) rather than buying another car's OEM wheels. I know they're volks and all, but you're gonna spend just as much, if not MORE than you would for some 19" Volks/Advans/ADV.1's.

never been a fan of putting some other cars stock wheels on ours. you want to be different then get some hre's/360 forged. twin turbo deserves some custom wheels

Looks good on the G. But yeah, I suggest going aftermarket for the price these wheels are going for. Unless you can get them for a great deal.

The GTR OEM wheels are actually the lightest wheels I can find for the size. I believe they are around the same weight as our OEM 19". And those wheels should be good for around the corners too. That's why I was looking into them. But I can definitely see your point. For around the same money, might as well go for something that looks really nice.

Who said bigger wheels give better traction? Formula 1 cars rock 13" wheels btw

Those wheels belong on a GTR in my honest opinion, if you want better traction, look for wider and stickier tires (semi slicks maybe?)

I've seen similar style wheels in the volk wheel line (formula silver) that look much better on the G37. Oh, and BTW, MUCH lighter!!! Talk to Lou at amplified

You can get volk g2 that weigh much less than any of these rims.
