Default One of those lame wheel decision threads. *facepalm*

I've been thinking about getting wider more aggressive wheels for my car, but I kinda like the wheels I have now. The only thing is though, is that they're way too narrow for my taste. 18x8 +30f 18x8.5 +33r. I'm looking at MB Battles, and assuming they don't discontinue them again I can get a set for around 6-7 hundred bucks. If I do decide to get these it'll probably be a few months from now, so I have time to decide. I would get 18x9.5 +15 all around, and probably run 255's on them. Let me know what you think.


Current wheels:




MB Battles Bronze on black (I know its not an SC, but its the best I could find for my color)

have you tried photoshopping it?? that might help YOU make a decision based off actual appearance rather than a poll.

Youre current rims are sick, but im guessing those MB Battles will look just as good if not better.

Both look good but I vote battles because of their size and concave

ps I know that s14. It's local to me.

Post question

i have a question for those of you that know the battles. if you were to get the 18x8.5s up front with the 18x9.5s in the back will it still have as much concave *** the rear. or to achieve the look of that s14 your gonna have to get 18x9.5 all around? its just hard to not want staggered but for this look its tempting.

Your current wheels are nice.

Oh, I thought the stickers were on your car. Those stickers are so stupid.

Your Soarer badges are dumb though.

This is a hard decision.... I like both about the same, so my final say so would be, if you want wider tires then sell those 350Z and get the others. That would be my decision.

Super sicky curvature gets my vote. I'd run a bit more stretch and flush out them out though.
