What do you guys think, what looks the best on a 2nd gen for rims? Personally I like the 5 spoke rims shown in this picture.

Yeah, i think 5 spoke look the best too. The ones that look good on sport compact cars dont look at good on sport coupe (motegi mr7's koniq tantrums)

oh I get it, I am really stupid, definately deserved the jerk thing! I honestly didn't know that an avatar is that little picture that goes with your posts, cool. That's almost as embarassing as crapping your pants on a date, not I've done that...no...really...I didn't ever crap...
sorry man.

My fav for second gen


For a third gen


Edit: I want to see a pair of the wheels on the 3rd gen on the second. It would probaby look pimp too.

I like any flat 5 spoke like the first ones, but on a white car like mine, in gummetal or even flat black. Kinda like the Konig Glides.

Here's my vote, but I guess it's bias seeing as though it's my car. The wheels are 5 Zigen Fireballs, with 225 Falken Azenis Sport rubber (great value for tires).



If I was to vote cost no object, my favourite would be a Volk Racing wheel of some sort. Probably their RCII lightweight.

personally i like those 8 spoked gun metal konig wheels but i want something flashy maybe those Y spoked but chromed as hell or possibly i can get those rims that still spin:P that would be hella crazy on a FC that needs a paint job aside from the fact the rims alone cost more than the car
