I was wondering if you guys would chime in and help me pick out some wheels! What color looks best on a black classic? Black, Red, White, Aluminum, Gunmetal or Bronze? I think I like black on black my self but Im still kinda iffy.........

i wanted Royal Black with a polished lip would look great.. Bronze SSRs would be the the sweetest, and Gun Metal ATS Comp Lites look fantastic..

the nice thing about going with the black on black is that it keeps the car looking like even more of a sleeper.. at a quick glance people will think you are rolling on steelies... that is... until you light 'em up and blow them away.. :biggthump

that's why i have flat black C8s for daily wheels... :D

I suggest you don't do gunmetal... here is what my NX looked like with them on. I am sure a black would look better than gunmetal, but it's just my opinion.

Ignore how it's sitting, I had just lowered the car and it's not settled yet.

I want something light weight, B14 wheels are around 20lbs a piece arent they? Still havent picked a size either. I dont know if i want to be flashy with 17's or keep the sleeper look with something smaller...

22 lbs to be precise. Yeah, they're heavy :( . But I like the total OEM stealth, they look great, and have nice grippy tire choices.

IMHO, go with a 15" or 16" wheel. The 17's look too big on Classics, out of proportion. They almost look a bit cartoonish or photo-shopped. Go to Tire Rack's website and punch in your car, and then start slapping on different size wheels. You can actually see an SE-R on screen and flip back and forth between wheel sizes. :biggthump

well depends of what kind of wheel you're going to use.

if you're going with slim spokes I'd say a silver color
but if you're going with thick spokes black or dark bronze all the way

Theres something about Black B13s on 15-16 Bronze rims that looks badass.
To me it's sleeper but not boring like black on black.

can lighter wheels increase ur speed by a fair amount?

james_se-r

probably not but lighter wheels do reduce rotational mass when trying to accelerate or brake......
