Sedan on Velgen VMB5's

Just got these on yesterday. Pictures are kind of crappy and car is dirty but I plan on taking some better pics soon. 20x9 and 20x10.5 with Eibach's. I think the car deserves a front lip now ... thoughts?

Nice wheels, nice offset, nice drop, nice exhaust, color of wheels go well with you silver G. Looking great with what you've done so far. Keep up the good work 941.

Looks great. I agree with the above - the wheel color works great with the color of your G. Can't wait to see where you take this

Your new wheels look GREAT! Nice drop and flush fit. Looks really clean!

also, if anyone becomes curious... put 4 people in the car last night and did a bit of a rub test - no rubbing!

the wheel + drop combo makes the car aggressive enough to not warrant the oem sport lip (IMO)

Great looking car though, your research paid off for sure. You have me pricing out a set of gunmetal 19s

My god this looks so god damn clean.. Very nice set up, this is exactly the direction I'd like to go with my sedan.

As for the front lip, I think you should do without. It maintains the clean, sporty look so perfectly without it.

They do really look good on this silver G... even if those Velgens also happen to look an awful lot like the OEM rims off the 7th Gen Maxima.

Actually, the overall design is strikingly similar, but the Velgens execute it with slightly more appeal.

Loving the set up on this G. The color choice of wheels flow very well with the rest of the car. Are you running the Eibach Pro Kit? Couple questions for you as I'm headed towards the same route. Any rubbing? Did you have to roll fenders? and lastly, what offsets? Keep up the great work!

these look great on your Silver sedan, I'm sure it's a great head turner now with that drop and nice flush look. if you don't mind me asking , how much a set of these run you?

Those are the exact wheels I'm leaning towards for my car also. To answer the question above, the offset should be +35 F/+45 R.

To the OP - What type and size tires did you choose, and how do you like the performance of the car with the new setup?
