Share photos of sedans with other makes rims

I often find myself thinking of putting on certain Lexus rims on my G sedan, and i bet i will do it soon. Anyone that has stock rims from other makes on their car or has seen other members do it...... please share!

I don't think it's a popular trend in the G community to put on other makes wheels except Nissan. #1 reason would probably be the weak offset. Also I think Toyota hub size is smaller than Nissan.

Rays wheels if you want to have OEM wheels.

The OP said "other makes"... IDK if Nissan really qualifies. Go remove the steelies off that CR-V and see how they look on your G.

This thread is retarded. Op pls do us a favor and if you decide on some boring *** Lexus rims to put on your G then keep that to yourself. I know to each their own, but this is just pointless IMO. If your not running Infiniti/nissan rims then next thing would be aftermarket.

I've seen a couple of Gs with bmw style 95 rims. While it might not be everyone's cup of tea, it doesn't look all that bad paired with other mods.

I wouldn't want to scratch my Akebonos trying

They do come with Nissan branding, which isn't the same as the exterior of the car. However, if you tear into the car at all... you can't miss the Nissan logos everywhere.

I'm going to do some Acura wheels on the CRV and some Euro parts to fancy it up a bit. It's all just plastic and metal at the end of the day.

That might look nice. Certainly better than the steelies.

We also have a CR-V, but it's the EX model, with 17" seven-spoke aluminum rims. They're actually pretty nice wheels, and suit the car well. Easy to clean and wax, too. 7 years old now, with 7 northeast winters, and they look as good as they did on Day One.

You know, it's testimonials like that which should convince people to keep their rims waxed. That's all it takes.

I bought my wife the AWD base model with the intention of modifying it. I wasn't to big on the 17's. They look nice but I feel like they're too small for the car. Just like the factory 18s on the sport. Nice wheels, just a bit small.

I have already added a lot of the extras inside and the rear wing. Wheels are next.

Here's the 19" Acura wheels for reference...

You've got that tubular side-step thing... I've always thought that would look good on the CRV. She has body-side molding and a roof-rack on hers. The roof rack is a nice touch.

Rear wing? Let's see the rear wing.
