Thoughts on wheels for AJAM & AMY . . . .


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Plus it's something unique that pretty much no one has done before. The most expensive rim package for the G35 coupes has 18's on the front and 19's on the back, and I like the look (I realize that it's actually a RWD car).

 

 

:confused:

 

This sounds like a "Tell me why what I already decided I am going to do is a good idea, and I'll argue with you if you disagree" thread.

That's the key component.....

 

 

Anyone who doesn't know W-bodies, thinks that AMY is RWD anyhow. Explain how a spoiler works on a FWD car - it doesn't really work.

 

 

The car is already all-show and no go. I don't see the difference. :shrug:

If I had decided already, I would have bought/be buying new tires for the 17's already.

It's like drugs...just say NO to staggering wheel sizes on your family style FWD car.

I don't know which one Amy is but if you are talking about the first gen, I think that they look much better wingless anyway :shrug: ...and anyone who thinks that either of those cars are rwd can't tell shit from shine-ola.....

Actually,

 

 

And I said it to Chinese Matt when I was at his place.

 

 

The primary purpose of the thread was to see if anyone could tell that the cars had different sized wheels on the front and back.

 

 

To be 100% honest, I didn't expect to receive rave reviews on the actual concept (bigger rims on the back), I expected pure negativity (based on what I would call prejudice). I just wanted to see what people thought of the pics, knowing that it would be seen as a cardinal sin.

 

The opinions ranging from: Put them on AMY, to they look good on both cars seem to say that virtually no one will notice what you've done if you do it.

 

My opinion is the same looking at the pics, as it was prior to making them:

 

 

I believe that the look enhances the looks of AMY (the red car) and takes away from the looks of AJAM (the dark teal car) a little.

Do either 13inch gold daytons or 24inch chrome wheels, or 13inch daytons on the front and 24inch chromies on the back. or any combination of.

I like the idea of staggered wheels, but it just doesn't make sense on a FWD car. That being said, if you take the context of that out, I say why not

If you help with the lift, I'll get the 24's.

Amy does a lot of mileage.

 

20,000km in the last 3.5 months that she's been insured.

 

Lowered really isn't in the cards.

 

x-laces are on her as we speak.

it will be the same as with mine. the red is already bad enough, putting rims on just turns her into such a slut.

Are you kidding? Amy has so many parts from other cars stuffed inside her, there is no avoiding being a slut!

 

Staggering = pointless IMO... I don't mind helping out here and there, but I refuse to help with a RWD conversion

 

Amy = x-laces and call it a day

Ajam = rock the 18s
