Which set of wheels?? Need opinions

Currently on 20" PUR Wheels, however my friend has a set of 19" TE37's... haven't decided which one I like more.

Black wheels look ghetto on white cars! I vote for the first set!

Depends what kind of look you are going for. the 20" is your typical modified F10 that a lot of people do here. I personally like the 19's just because its unique. And the beefer tire too.

PS get the reflector deletes https://ind-distribution.com/product...3&categories=9

Stick with 20's. If you want black, powdercoat them.

I vote for the PUR's! Love the TE37's but I'd rock them in a 20" in a bronze finish. Too bad the don't make them in a 21"

The 20s you have are far better. Leave it alone!

I know from owning a 350Z with OEM Ray's wheels that those TE37 are superior to the others. They are forged and much lighter and stronger than traditional alloys. As someone already said, those in bronze would look better than the 20's. As I see it, unless one has Brembo's and two-piece rotors what's the benefit of open-spoke wheels? Garden-variety OEM calipers and conventional rotors are virtually standard on all cars.

my GramLights from RAYS in bronze finish are similar to the TE37'S. Forged and superlight!

It's funny because Archie also has a GTR and I know him from forums! He's crazy with his cars.
