Default Picture request (Wheels)

Hello,

I currently have the iForged Aero wheels on my black 1st gen, but I'm planning to go up in wheel size and a different style for the next upgrade. I'm looking at the iForged Seneka wheels, but I haven't seen many first generation GS' with "mesh-type" wheels. If anyone has any pictures of 1st gen. GS' with this style of wheel, I'd appreciate it if you could post them to get an idea of what it would look like. Thanks.

Hi,

Our cars are beefy and have a box like shape. The mesh does not improve the bulky look of our cars. I would reccomend a 3-5 spoke wheel or a dish wheel. Those seem to show the great lines of the car.

There are a lot of JZS147s in Japan with the mesh, although I am inclined to agree with Lexaristo.

It's hard to find pictures of them without speaking Japanese. Here's one I found.

Appreciate the responses, fellas. The pictures were just what I was looking for.

I do agree with you LexAristo. I always thought the "low-spoke" wheels look best on our cars, but I've recently been looking at my car and picturing it with those Seneka wheels with a wide lip, and it intrigued me.

I might even end up getting the same wheel (Aeros), just going up to 20 inch fully polished instead of what I have now (Currently 18", polished lip and brushed aluminum spokes). Also looking at the iForged Flux, though.

Seize, I have to tell you those Flux look excellent on your car. The brushed aluminum spokes match perfectly with it. What size are those that you're running?

Thanks for the compliment...the Senekas are nice, so are the Aeros. My friend with a 5 Series bimmer has the Aeros in 20" and they're hot!! 4" lip in th rear.

As for my wheels, I'm running 20 x 8.5 in the front and 20 x 10 in the rear. 245/35/20 and 285/30/20

The second to last pic of the blue GS with bodykit makes the mesh look really good!
