22" iForged Wheels on NEW Nissan Skyline GTR

Pictures for you guys to view. I personally think the white one with the polished wheels is lowered way too much, but the grey one looks much better. Keep in mind these wheels we made for Tokyo Auto Salon which is the SEMA of Japan. Most cars will want to run lightweight 20" applications.






More information of the 22" fitment on New Skyline GTR

I like how they look... but its such a performance car that I think the iForged just are not the right wheels for the car. They need something like these:

Ugh... Seriously you have to be retarded to put those on a GT-R. The black ones I might let slide, but chrome. No, just No!

look up the definition of "oxymoron" in Webster's and you'll find this: lightweight 20" applications

I haven't been following GT-R news religiously so I was surprised to note from the model car at the Auto show, that the GT-R is running 20" RFTs (Bridgestones) That seems like a lot of unsprung weight at each corner...

well.......as long as they're only for that Japanese SEMA......then whatever, still think the white one looks dumb as shit. But I understand its just for that show. Now, what I dont understand is why the hell SEMA "show" cars have to have such lame and over done wheels and body kits. Who the F made that the standard at those shows?

Am I the only one here who doesn't think bigger is always better. To me the standard rims look perfectly acceptable.

+1

I love wheels that fill arches, but not OTT. Plus chrome doesnt do it for me
