ok.... i have a dilemma.... i am gonna buy these wheels... there are 2 things i cant decide on......

1. i have 2 wheel combos i like...

17x7 40 offset 1.75" lip front
17x9 35 offset 3" lip rear ($550 shipped to my door)

or

18x7.5 38 offset 2.25" lip front
18x9.5 35 offset 3.25" lip rear($650 shipped to my door)

next is color...... i like them both equally, and would like to hear everyones input... heres a photoshop of both colors

heres a link to the wheel http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_962.shtml

gold just isnt doing it for me.....gunmetal looks a lot better i think. And id definatly go with the 17's

Whats the price for each wheel? thems are pretty nice

KronFC 06-26-06 05:38 AM

Gold doesn't go very well with your orange, And personally I've always thought 18's are too big on an FC.

17" Gunmetal would be a great choice.

The gunmetal would look the best if you had some darker stuff on your car to offset all the orange, for instance if the hatch surround was still black. It would probably be good tho cause I know your windows are probably tinted pretty dark.

gunmetal ... it would look best with the orange ... and i like those rims btw

DragonRx7 06-26-06 02:45 PM

You should do a color matched rim.

SimplyComplex 06-26-06 02:46 PM

If the car was black, or blue, white, or silver, I'd say gold. I'm extremely partial to gold rims. Love em. But with this color car, I really dislike them. Gunmetal all the way.

17" Gunmetal +1

vipers 06-26-06 03:33 PM

ok, well i just broke down and bought the wheels......... and the verdict was.... (drumroll please)





GOLD!

i got them in 18x7.5 front, and 18x9.5 rear .... i pick them up tomarrow ($577 total, including all hardware and lugnuts)





the good part is, i bought them at a local wheel shop, so if i dont like the gold wheels on the car, i can return them and get the gunmetal (as long as i dont mount tires on em')

SimplyComplex 06-26-06 04:08 PM

A prime example of why opinions don't mean shit. :)

Black crome spinners

Alex Rodriguez 06-26-06 06:43 PM

i would go with gold Jesse

CrackHeadMel 06-26-06 06:52 PM

gold on orange... not my personal likings

i would have gone with the gunmetal

13b4me 06-26-06 07:00 PM

I think you should paint black lines up your car and paint the sunroof green... :D

robtechfabrications 06-26-06 07:02 PM

already did! bought the gold ones:)

thanx robtechfab.

i mainly wanted to see what everyone thought, then do the complete opposite:) i like to be different, so if everyone likes the gunmetal ones, im gonna go w/ the gold ones:) but who knows, i may not like the gold ones when i put them on the car, so at least i have the option of swapping for the gunmetal ones

Alex Rodriguez 06-26-06 07:22 PM

or paint them if you change your mind

liv 06-26-06 07:22 PM
