I have an fc with the stock maroon/ claret mica color and it's time to get some wheels for it... i'm lookin at getting some 17's for it...but don't want anything to expensive like volks eventhough i'd love them..anyone have some ideas for rims for this color of car?

 

NOPE. Use your head, it is all a matter of your opinion. Try google images for help.

 

I picked up a set of 17" bronze finish ADR's off Ebay for about $400 shipped. Were I you I'd stick with something subdued for a car that's not bright, like Silver or Bronze finish instead of polished or chromed or gold. I like using TireRack's tool to see what looks good and then shop elsewhere for better prices.

 

stock nissan 240sx se S14 rims. look great and cheap! they are only 16's though.... but they fit nicely.

 

Anything silver will work.
Gold will work also.
White will work also with the right design.

I HATE black centers cause you can't see the center design.

Im a fan of R32 wheels on a maroon car but thats just me.

 

ahh you suck mang....lol..j/k

 

how abotu something like this?--->

 

FD wheels you need to run a spacer but i love the look of them on a FC

 

throw a polished lip on that and i would be very nice!!!! thats exactly what im doin!!

 

dont know specific rims, but if you could powdercoat the rims(usually a couple hundred around here) and match the color to the car. some people around here do that and it looks alright.

 

The 1993 Mr2 wheels look great. Maybe you should look into those. FD wheels, too, are very nice. Hmm...how about a set of ssr mesh? No wait..those are expen$ive. Try some 88-91 Supra rims.

 

Gawd. With a Dark maroon car you need a Brite Chrome wheel. Almost anything would look good.

No Gold or Bronze.

Black if you're building a whip and you wanna shyft mad tyte yO

 

black rims>all

 

Best looking maroon one I've seen...silver wheels...

 

Go with a bronze wheel with a polished lip, multispokes or mesh

 

gold or silver rgII's

im deciding between those two right now i have a black t2

this might sound lame but use gt4 to find some nice rims to match your car youd be surprised how much of a help it can be

 

As was said earlier, it's all a matter of opinion. I happen to like bronze rims on dark red / maroon FCs.

www.tirerack.com has a little program on there site to help choose what rims might look good on your car.

I use photoshop for a living so get me a pic of your car plus potential rims and I'll see what I can do for you. PM me for Email adress if interested.

They'd probably be pretty hot, for a $3,200 set of wheels.
