thanks for the reference. i think the look i wanna go for is the hella flush/slammed look with vip style wheels.

another thing, would it be necessary to go bigger than 18in? or is 18 big enough?

also if ur wanting super slammed, may wanna look into bags!
seems to be the way to go + its a pretty nice ride, and u can still lift up for shitty roads

Wait, if you can afford 19's, get 19's.

Throw reasoning out the window. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY, GO 19. You wont be disappointed

And no, you dont need aero to make that look bad *** but it couldn't hurt.

Good luck and those wheels are sexy.

^^wow i soo forgot about that white fc. they do look pretty identical, i think theyre the same wheels lol

i looked into bags but i want a simpler setup.

ill try 19s and go with a kit later on. looking at some vip cars i didnt think a kit was necessary.

edit: i want the wheel specs for that white fc.

This is with 17's and bn. I NEED 19's at least. Lol.

I would suck dicks for these. Not even playing....



They're that rare and that baller but look sooo damned good.

Also, for aero i wouldn't rule out uras (pretty rare on cars these days and would roll hard on 19's for sure!), m sports or origin stylish either. Too many people have bn and gp. ****, i have bn and wanted gp. Lol. However if you're curious, in the fc aggressive fitment thread, the owner of the white car on euroline dh's also has a pic of his car with a bn kit. 18's.


Vip wheels are totally hot on fc's.

i was just looking into those. those are some baller rims but waaay out of my price range lol.

i do like the m sports but im probably gonna go slammed, hella flush fitment and no kit and see how that goes.

worse case or best case scenario im gonna go with a re kit and bbs rs with a hella flush fit. anything with bbs rs's look good slammed imo

If your gonna go with these style rims, gotta go big.
