I'm trying to decide between 3 wheels...which do you think would look better on a black FC?

5Zigen Copse 17" in Hyperblack



Tenzo Passion5 17" in gunmetal with mirror lip



Konig Imagine 17" in Opal

Tenzo Passion5 Gunmetal/Mirror Lip. Hands down. Split 5 spoke looks great on FCs.

I love how the konigs look with the Tenzos a close second. As Aaron Cake said, split 5 spoke do look great on FCs

Depends on what color the car is. The Konigs would look awesome on a black FC. The Tenzo's would look really good on a red FC IMO... So the Konigs get my vote.

Std. BBS mesh
I still think the stock BBS mesh wheels on my Dad's 88 vert were the best looking wheel on any FC. They just looked 'right' on the car.

i dont like a lot of wheels out there, but you got it narrowed down. i like them all. if you want to be safe the last one will definitly look good on an fc. i really like the look of the bbs in 16" with a lot of offset(?) (when the rim sticks out from the wheel)
