22" Forged On A R35.... "droooooolsssssss'

[Owgasm]

wtf. sewids pic / wrist for the company.

EDIT: Sorry, I should have written my original post a little differently

Expect a LOT more of this... baller is the way to go to sell cars these days. The 300C was the first car to sell itself on big diameter wheels tyres, Nissan have just copied a winning idea.

I really would have thought that with the size of the brakes on the R35 Nissan wouldnt have had any other choice than to fit 20s to it...

V8 Supercars run 370mm rotors under a 17" wheel so I don't think you would really need to go an extra three inches for a 380mm rotor.

Nissan has copied jack shit. There's a performance reason why they went for 20's, like there is a performance reason Porsche went with 19's for the 997 Turbo. They're not thinking, geez, this will get me in the good books with 50 cent

Whether we like it or not, it is important that 50 cent likes it because what 50 cent likes, America likes. Think about the slogan for the car "NEW NISSAN GT-R: THE 21ST CENTURY SUPERCAR FOR ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME". This includes South Beach, the Sunset Strip AND Laguna Seca. Porsche knows this as well as anyone.

22-inch wheels and Automatic transmissions sell the car to 50-cent. Nurburgring laptimes and split second gearshifts sell the car to performance enthusiasts like us. It is marketing genius and the only reason that this car exists at all.

Im 90% sure v8 supercars dont run 370mm disks with 17in wheels, pretty sure they are 18in, my 355mm disks just fit in 18's, but as you say nissan probably could have run 19's

Looks f**king ugly which is why they suit the car.

V8 Supercar = 17x11" rims.

Cant wait to see the first suicide or lambo door conversion ......makes me want to suicide just thinking about it.

Hmm 40kg 22x5" rims with spinners and air bags no doubt, im sure they will make the car handle really well....or not

Why not just airbrush the f**ck out of it as well and completely wreak the car

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

[typevu]

Its nice. I like.

[lingeringsoul]

The white is definitely a no, the grey one with the dark grey centre looks good...............probably wouldn't look good in black centre but grey/dark silver is awesome iwht polished lip

[swanny180]

The white is definitely a no, the grey one with the dark grey centre looks good

I also share this sentiment

[N1GTR]

I dont mind them!

[Blitz]

I stood and stared at that white R35 at Tokyo Autosalon for some time, wondering if the owner got confused and thought it was a 300C.

Slammed with 22 inch chrome wheels and a massive audio system in the boot was not the intended mod path for the R35 GTR.

[inthisglass]

its been said before but the stock rims look eleventy billion times better

and woah! that r35 looks mad in white.

much better than the black or silver imo.

[mass_iv]

i dont think they look that bad at all... the cars look sex!!!

have a look at the first pic on the second line. the one with the white and silver car, i think the rims suit it

Especially the white one

[mass_iv]

Especially the white one

agreed

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

The white one looks quite nice with the smooth bodykit, wheels are OK, but I would have other things in mind.

[m3gtr]

Could be worse... I.e. people could be putting these abominations on their R35's:

anything is better than that on an R35...

[jake33]

yeah the 22s are impractical for the car. but looks wise... f**kin hot as!

[Angry]

they were on sale at tempe tyres?

[philta]

my left testicle would look better than the chromes on that white gtr
