What rims to put on this?

I saw some Enkei MM2's in gunmetal which are pictured on it but it's hard to see the color.

Anyone got some pics of Bronze rims?

I want to go with either gunmetal or bronze since I've got a black GTU.

Oh yeah I plan to go with 16's. Any negatives for 17's? Clearance/turning or potholes?

I'd say go with a set of S5 TII rims, or something like you have on there right now. I love the multi spoke like that on black cars.

And the flames.... no comment.

5zigen FN01RC's...17/8, +13 offset, but I will probably end up getting the 15s or 16 with the +40 offset because:

1.)I am poor and intend on going through many, many tires due to my application ...and...

2.)wait, that's it, I guess...

hehe I'm at work so I got a little carried away. I'm using Paint here so I can't manip the colors to see bronze and gunmetla colors.

I think Volk makes some Bronze ones.
ANyone know of any other bronze ones? It's a bastard to find ones a certain color on sites like tirerack and so on.

I've got some nameless "Z racing" 15's on there now.(the ones on the back)
They aren't bad and I plan to keep them as a drift tire set.

I want a 16 at least because it just looks weird with big open 15's.

Man digi I would hate if you worked for me, this is like the third "goofing off at work thread" heh ! I think maybe gunmetal would look nice with that car, anyway check out http://www.wheelmax.com/ my buddy ordered from there and payed like $600 for rims/tires and he was overall happy with their service, their prices are amazing!

OMG damn! I have to get bronze now!!!!!!

THe Zigens are nice but I checked their site and I didn;t see any sizing for ours.

Isn't our offset like 40mm? and bolt pattern 5x100?

Not sure on pattern.

I just ordered a set of 5Zigen FN01R-Cs, in 17x8 front and 17x9 rear. I got +30 offset all the way around, it will fit fine. Expect to pay ~$1000 after shipping for a set.
