Don't know if this is a repeat thread, but has anyone found any Winter Rims that can fit the Q50S? I am looking for 18s or 19s. The only one i know of are the Fast Wheels Synergy, but they don't look so good.

Thanks

Use the stock wheels for winter and get some nice wheels for summer!

Ya, it's been dealt with in several posts earlier this fall. Here's my 18 x 8 Core Racing Kobe wheels from Kal Tire.

Thanks Dude, btw what tire size you used? I am thinking about using 225/60/18.

That s exactly what I'm doing. I have Michelin Xicei3 on the factory alloys, and will get something nicer in the spring.

Snow tires are 245/45-18. Overall diameter matches the OEM 19" tire/wheel package so no speedometer/odometer issues.

Good call on Kal, I got the Core Racing OBSIDIAN. I saw yours, how's the clearance btw with brakes? I found the 40 offset too close to the calipers.

Tires I went 225/45/18.. Somewhat close to the 3%

Close is okay as long it's not touching! The offset on the Obsidians is 41 compared to 40 on the Kobes. Now that's close! I like the look of the Obsidians. What colour is your car?

I went black on black on black. You know whats messed up, i am missing two hub ring covers or w.e they're called. I contacted Core Racing, however i think i should go through Kal Tires.

Btw any 1 know the accurate torque for the lugs for the Q50S?

Yea, i think that makes more sense but then again i dont really like the look of our stock wheels compared to the aftermarket wheels I bought!

U mean the center caps?

Hmmm...maybe 100lbs? Not sure but that's what Ive been going with since my G35!

Win!
That's what everyone needs to do.

Even just nice wheels with a cheap coilover setup will do you well.

The term I think you're referring to is "hub centric rings".

I'm thinking 225/50-18 for a winter sneaker. A smidge larger than the stock 245/40-19 on a Q50S.

Might fill the "dead cat hole" a little better but only by .53%
