2013 wheel image 18" anyone?

Pauly · 03-01-2012, 10:33 AM

are the 18"s and 19"s gonna look exactly the same? does anyone have a pic of the car with the 18" wheels? please post if you do. also, can anyone tell me how the car will behave differently without VLSD? i mean obviously it will decrease wheel slip on launch, but will the base model only spin one tire? sorry im a noob.

2013 19"s are slightly changed, no clue about the 18s. And as far as VLSD.. Don't sweat it, you can always install a better LSD if you go base.

Yes whoever finds a pic of this please post up, interested to see this as well.

I agree. I'm not a fan of the "tornado wheel".

Edit: however after seeing that up close pic. They have done a good job of not making it look ugly. I'm sure it will grow on me. I mean I hated the look of the 370 when it first came out.

I didn't want to make him feel bad if he liked them. Haha

Besides he could have just googled 2013 rims to find a picture.

Pauly · 03-01-2012, 11:26 AM

those arent bad, if the 18"s are like that i could live with it at first. i hear most people saying they are not into it. im sure i will get something else before long. i read that in june the 13's will be available. not sure how accurate that is since i forgot where i read it lol.

DLSTR · 03-01-2012, 03:59 PM

I like the new wheels and the new update of the 13. I want the new red w sports in 13. Just might get it.

takjak2 · 03-01-2012, 10:29 PM

Haven't seen pics yet, but they definitely did say there were new 18s.

The 350z had much better looking base wheels. Our base wheels look like they belong on a base mazda 3.

Funny you say that as I saw a base black 370 in Plano with 06-08 350 rims on it, it looked much better on it than the 370 base rims does.

They shoulda saved themselves a few bucks and carried them over. When I bought sport. I know I was going for brakes and rims. The vlsd is good on the street but can stand to do a lot better for the track. If I could only afford a base or base touring and no sport??? I would have ended up in a camaro SS or EVO. The base wheels are ugly enough to be a dealbreaker imo... Lol.
