Opinion needed.
Long story short, I'm looking for a new style for my car. I've had G2's for over 2 years now and I'm a bit tired of flat black wheels.
Initially thought about TE37SL, P43SC, F14 SDC, TCIII(but only in 20"....), and etc. I really need your opinion here. Now here is the tricky part of the choice 1. I would want to keep my current tires so I'm limited to 19" wheels. - I currently run RE-11 245/40/19 285/35/19. Fatter profile made a huge difference in terms of ride comfort. If I do decide to go 20", I would sacrifice the comfort as it is my daily. It's a personal opinion though whether that profile made a huge difference. 2. Somewhat stylish, yet light enough for the occasional track use. - I'm not a track junkie, but occasionally attends track days (Or planning to). I've heard, and seen (Dynographs and etc) that you lose time and power at the same time. 3. Wants to get out of whole Nissan = TE's. - I know TE's are timeless design that will, and most likely, go on forever, but I'm looking for a CHANGE. I know i've listed TE37SL up there. I LOVE the finish but it's still an option. Any opinion would be appreciated !

I know you want to stay with 19's but I really like the new te37rt (only 18s). From the looks of it you could probably afford to buy some new tires lol.

Amazing what some color could do for your car. Get your rims powdercoated bronze or something. I've always liked that color combination with white.

Kind off topic but I read somewhere that powdercoating can compromise the strength of forged wheels. Any truth to this? Since he's asking about tracking as well.
