Talking Wheels?

I've been thinking about wheels for my 05 6MT SSM TL (not that I can afford them). I prefer a more sporty look over the flashy stuff, so I put together some Photochopped pics of several wheel styles I really like. Please give any opinions and vote for which one you like the best (even if it's not your favorite style). This turned out to be a pretty fun project, and I really had a chance to brush up on my Photoshop layering skills...

Option 1: Volk Gram Light 57F, 18x8.5 +45, bronze


Option 2: Volk Gram Light 57F, 18x8.5 +45, custom gunmetal


Option 3: Volk G35 Sport, 19x8 +30 (front), 19x8.5 +33 (rear) silver


Option 4: Volk G35 Sport, 19x8 +30 (front), 19x8.5 +33 (rear) custom gunmetal

Can't see your pics so I can't vote, but I can say +30 and +33 won't fit.

Please post or link any pictures if you know where they are. I would love to see how these really look on the car. Especially considering the staggered width and offset...

Thanks for the link though. The guy says it scrapes in the rear over speed-bumps and the car isn't even lowered. This is because they are 8.5" wide with to little offset. If I were lowered with these wheels, something would get broke. It's okay though. I think after looking at the G35 rims on the TL for a day now, I'm just not that fond of them anymore.

If search doesnt work how did i find that Thread Link for U. Please dont bad talk about the search function on this forum because it seems to help everyone but u. Just because u dont know how to use a simple search doesnt mean it sucks. Maybe u should look a little deeper and have more patience.

And i dont like how they look either.

The reason he scrapes isn't because of the offset but the tires. Stock G35 tires are a little too tall for the TL to take.

Stock rear G35c tires are 245/40 R19. The TL can only go to 245/35 R19 safely.

I also agree with Slammed_JDM: search feature in this site really works. You need to put * at the end when you're searching for less than 4-characters keywords.
