Next week I should be ordering air ride, finally. :pilot:

My questions are about wheels and the wing.
I really like these wheels (16x9 :shock: ):

But I'm not sure how they would go with my car since they are so JDM and my B is so..........not.


And this is the wing I had in mind:

But in fiberglass.

Ehh, 16x9's are way too wide IMO, the stretched tire look is ugly too.

I'd go 16x8's if you can find the wheels you like in them.

[Mavrichie]

The fiberglass wing & airride will be sick additions to your B but the rims do look very JDM and there may be better choices out there for your new set up. I do like the rims you picked out though, they have a nice wide lip and a very clean look but I am not a big fan of the stretched tire look.

jon , i like the wing , but the wheels i say no way . just my .02 .

[Sciko Hubby]

I like the wheels, but not a fan of that particular wing.

[FrankenScion]

I need rims with a bigass lip!
The lip on my rims looks so small parked next to mommas Z. :(

[dredge38]

ya youll have the lip but the wheel will look so small to mommas z, you cant ever win haha j/k, i like the wheels and the wing, and the airride going for the airrunner set up? Did you rob a bank and not tell me haha cnat wait to see it all done

[Mavrichie]

I am going to check these out...
Axis Wheels (http://www.axiswheels.com/wheels/widetrack/widetrack.html)

[FrankenScion]

I like the Axis WideTracks, but damn that shit is expensive.

And I'm not sure how much I could tuck rockin an 18x9 in the rear......lol.

[Mavrichie]

One word...Camber

[FrankenScion]

Argh, I hate camber.......lol
And I do way to many road trips, my tires would break me.

[THEWIFE]

the style on the wheels are kinda old schoolish, not kinda diggin them to much, the wing i can deff dig it. the stretch look can be pulled off, but i think that it looks better on 17's. check out Phatfront on SL i think that he has pics of his new b with the stretch tires on 17's.. is really pimp.

[Mavrichie]

True... but maybe have one set for show and another set for go. It is expensive to go that route but since you show your car it might be worth considering. It is only money... :rofl2:

[FrankenScion]

I ain't got that much money.........lol.

[Mavrichie]

I hear that... well good luck on the new mods, I am sure whatever you decide will look great.

[THEWIFE]

here you go man, this wheels make me cream when i see them. and in person they look super badass..

[FrankenScion]

Those would be cool in black instead of red, but its still not enough lip.............lol.

[THEWIFE]

well the lip is not going to be that much of a diff since is only a .5 difference. the offset could make a lot of diference. Also the wheels can be powder coated black, there were black originally and they were painted red, i thnk that they are hot as shit. LOL>

[FrankenScion]

What about these?

17x9

[THEWIFE]

those are really nice. i dig those, i think that they will go well with your b.

[FrankenScion]

well the lip is not going to be that much of a diff since is only a .5 difference. the offset could make a lot of diference. Also the wheels can be powder coated black, there were black originally and they were painted red, i thnk that they are hot as shit. LOL>

[THEWIFE]

black and chrome looks good. i deff like them and the lip on those looks pretty big due to the low offset.. so yeah those black ones look nice. i like them.

[Glorious Midget]

Your xB looks really nice as it is...save the money to beef up the Z, like a turbo or something :)

[Retro Style]

Jon, I like those last ones personally. The 18x9.5 ET35, you are not going to be able to tuck those on air ride. Also with a 35 offset, you may hit brake caliper up front because my old 17's were 35 offset and I had to get a spacer.

If you go 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear you will be stretching tires on, but it will look hot. Still wont be able to tuck them though.

I really don't see you getting rims with a huge lip tucked on the B without modification to the fenders and camber.

These rims are the size's I mentioned would look good. But as you can tell, I don't think they will be tucking.
