How do you tell between 18" & 19" ...from pics!?

dudafunk · 12-01-2009, 11:30 AM

OK this is going to sound very noob.

People see this link:

Move to time 1:04 ...see how the front driver wheel looks like? That turns me on, and I guess the wider the wheel the better.

Now since this has the sports package rims we know its 19" . . . but when I see similar random pics on the internet, some 18" wheels might look cool too.. you know what I mean?

What I'm trying to figure out is if 18" is cool enough to turn me on or not.. lol.. so can you guys really tell the difference by look at pictures if they don't have a caption detailing what type of rims the guy is using?

look for the 370's with the "sport package" they will have the 19's

the base w/o "sp" will have the 18's

look in my album in my sig i have the 19's

dudafunk · 12-01-2009, 12:02 PM

Noooo I meant to ask.. if I see people with non-stock rims... THOSE could be 18" OR 19"... can one tell just from the look without reading the caption if its 18 or 19?

I'm trying to find a base non-stock 18" picture that can pull off that wide turned wheel look I am pointing at the video.

kdo2milger · 12-01-2009, 12:15 PM

those are the 19" in that vid...

not sure i follow what your trying to say about the "wide turned wheel look"

are you refering to deep dish rims?

I think he's trying to find out if "we" can tell the difference between 18 and 19 inch rims just by looking. I think most people can't and don't care. Honestly, I think people only pay attention to rims if it appeals to them. So if all you care about is "looks" then as long as you don't dip below 18's on a 370 you'll be fine.

You can tell the difference if you look at enough pics.. just browse some of the photoshops or other threads on this forum.. weird question

I guess what the OP is asking is if you can tell the size difference between the two wheels by looking at them and seeing the size difference. Problem is that anyone who knows a little bit about the 370Z knows that the sports wheels and stock wheels look different and are different sizes so when you see a sports wheel you know its 19" and when you see a stock wheel you know its 18". You notice the style of the wheel not the size.

I think most people can tell the size of a wheel just by looking at it. Once you've browsed through so many pictures of cars with aftermarket wheels.... It becomes easier to distinguish what size the wheels are.

I think you should just get 22's. It sounds like that might turn you on more.

I think you should get a PhD :-/
