    I want the eurotuner look...

    Hope ya'll guys can understand what I'm trying to do. I want a smooth but not flasy looks. The only rims that can give me that deep dish euro look is some axis wheel, 19 inch. Who has 19s and how do they ride. I have a black galant gtz 2003. will have pics soon as I finish washing the car

    Please specify a little bit more. You either want an usdm smooth or jdm/world spec smooth, or both. There's no kit out there that has a smooth look so the two options stated above is your bet.

    Sounds to me like he wants to do VIP. I have 19s and I would not buy 19 if this was my daily car. Too rough for me on a daily car, specially with coil overs. It was smoother with KYB AGX & Teins then it is now with Megans.

    I have a set of Chrome 19's also, but right now I'm on 17's for the winter. I have the 19's for the Spring/Summer. They ride pretty good. You feel the road a lil bit more of course, but you wont realize it until you switch back to ur stocks.
    My tires are 235/35/19 tires, which is the perfect size for 19"x8" on our cars. If you check my profile or my Cardomain page, you can see the rims Im talkin about. They have a 2.5" Lip on them and look great in my opinion. You will have to either roll or shave your rear fenders to accomodate for the size of wheel so you wont shred your rear tires. I have a 2 subs in my trunk, and whenever anyone sat in the back seat, I was scrapin my tires with the fenders until I got them shaved. Good luck with your car, post some pics when you get a chance.

    Thanks, yeah when I think of the look I want, its similar also, a Euro-tuner/Sport Luxury Look. So I think of cars like Infinity G35, BMW M3/M5, Audi S8, Mercedes S500, etc. Here's a good pic of an Audi with that inspiration...


    Im still on the fence about which one I want to choose, or if I want hybrid the two of them. :?

    Yeah I wouldnt mind one either, but I love my G, I like having something different from every1 else.
    Every1 else where I live has either a Camaro, Monte Carlo, Impala, Chevy Truck, Charger, 300C, Magnum, Honda Accord/Civic, or Toyota Camry! :x It makes me sick! Buy somethin else people!
    So I got my Galant and I love it. Get compliments all the time, "Nice car!" "Is that BMW? A Mercedes?" :? I even was asked if it was a Lincoln LS? :shock: I said what?...No. A BMW maybe, it looks similar, the rest of them...naw, doesnt look like it to me. I like these Audis alot too. They have really changed up their look in the past 10yrs. :)

    I agree with all of you as far as wanting that "euro-tuned" look, and have wanted it for years. I don't know how many of you ol' skoolers remember when I tried to have this kit made for the G. But just like most group buys here, I didn't get enough support.


    Who knows, maybe one day someone will get something like this made, or maybe once my baby ain't a daily driver anymore, I'll have a "1 of" kit made and add some widebody fender flares too. (Awww...to dream!! )

    Oh man please. I'm not trying to stirr anything up here but the Eurotuner look is way different than any other. For some reason they really only fit Euro cars. Just take a look at all the pics of Euro cars in this thread & then look at any kit that's out there for our cars. I just don't think that you can attain that look but hey he I'm not stopping him.

    I think our cars come stock with a somewhat euro look already. Our cars look like a mix b/w a BMW and an 1999 Acura TL. But the JDM parts and the Bodykits kick that look out.
