If you get those wheels, they sure as heck better have tight fitment. If not, they'll look cheesy. It's a look that I wouldn't rock, but it is doable. So if you like it, go for it, but make sure the fitment is correct.

FITMENT!!! It's more important than the style of the wheels.

I like everything but the front grill. I think it hangs too low and should be brought up to be flush with the bottom of the headlights.

cdeez- Yes it is the Top Secret bumper for the G37, good eye! I think it could actually fit but would take quite a lot of modification. The cars are about the same in size though. I think the easiest way to go about it would be cut the top half from the Solara bumper, and the bottom half off the g37 stock bumper and plastic weld them together. then attach the Top Secret lip to the bumper. Who knows though it might even match up to the Solara bumper with little modification.

Bob- Thanks, What do you mean by the headlight blinkers? And do you mean that you like the black version of the Dalar's but not the chrome version? I am actual opposite. I guess the look I am going for on this car is sporty, yet luxury. I want something that's not your typical tuner wheel. Something with a little more style, but not HOOD lookin. I guess that's why the simple 5 spoke caught my eye, but the details like the flared spokes, and rivets on the inner lip, got me set on this wheel. I also think the flush face wheel will look more elegant or luxury than a deep dish wheel. To me this car is not a performance car. It's a cruiser. So my theme might go against a lot of peoples grain here.

To everyone who replied - THANKS! Keep the comments coming. I would like to here what others think.

99BlackSandv6- I am as picky as they come when it comes to mods. They are a 20x8.5 wheel +38 offset and will have 225/35r20 tires. They will fit flush with the wheel well and give me room to drop it on TRD springs with VERY minimal rubbing only on harsh bumps.


.onetohate- Maybe I should contact TopSecret :-P There would be A LOT of interest, as it would be THE ONLY kit made fro the gen2 / gen2.5....Im not counting the "EVO" kit, it doesn't qualify in my book :)


kingkakyle- you are right :)

This shows better angles of the Dalar's. Do you all really dislike them?

Yea, I knew that. I'm just saying since the front bumper would have to be custom made, you could bring the grill up maybe 3/4" or a full inch. But that's just me. I'm all sorts of wierd 8)

GOOD, I'm glad you though about the fitment the way I would.
I also have to say, the Dalars look a lot better in the pics you
just posted. I think that as long as the car is right, those
wheels will look good on it. Plus, you like them so they're the
right choice for you.
