i think it'll look good on the car.
what color is your car and what color, size of the rims you're planning to get?

Very nice wheels, but I'm curious if you're aware that those 18" Time Attacks run about $3000 for a set?

that combo would look sic. you have the $$$ why not, it's very light weight about 16lb and very strong but be careful where you park your car. i've got my volk re30 stolen awhile back

18x8.5 +40 offset. How much of a drop do you have?

According to this retailer, these are discontinued, so don't wait too long.

If you don't have any idea what springs you are going to get, then play it safe with 225/40 tires.

you can always be cheap and get some rotas... but usually mentioning something like that would bring on the flame...

Definitely get the real Volk Time Attacks... I think that color combo rim on BSP will look truly balla. Maybe you could try finding a used set on a G35 forum and spend a lot less???

Reminds me of the old Pace Picante commercials where the one cowboy would say, "Salsa from New York City?!" Then the other cowboy would respond, "Get a rope!" LOL.

Anyways, here's a set on Ebay, but in gold with polished lip.

hahah thanks guys! I also found some konig zeros. They are sort of similar to the time attack ones but a lot cheaper. What do you guys think?

How are you going to start a thread about authentic JDM wheels and then change it up with some generic replicas? Why not just pay a little bit more and buy some used authentic rims than going with the lesser brand? Do it man! Do it!
