I wanted to go Skyline GTR wheels, but decided to just go aftermarket. Ive narrowed it for the most part between 2. Falken Hanabi 17x9, and Motegi LC5 17x8. I like the LC5 bronze better myself, but the Hanabi has a semi factory wheel look. almost the same, just longer spokes. I dont much like Motegi brand, or at least the few sets Ive seen in person, but they were several years back and Ive heard they have improved a good bit. So which do you guys like more?

Here are the links to actual pictures

The Hanabi Silver (excuse the poor chop, the spokes look super thin cause I compressed the size so much and didnt care to fix it.


And then the LC5 bronze

 

Bronze wheels on a red TII = Sex.

 

also my thoughts

 

The LC5s. Will look awesome on your red FC.

 

swept spokes look like *** to me. the LC5 actually look really good.

 

+1

 

yeah, black wheels are very cool on red cars.
I would buy the LC5.

 

Damn, already a unanimous decision. This will also be after a fresh paintjob, new side trim pieces, new spoiler and possibly S5 tails. Along with a new RB duel system, so no holy, rust infested stockers with the tips missing ( they fell off driving down the road lol) So the whole package will be nice I hope *crosses fingers* and not ricery (dont plan on any ricer mods, but sometimes a bit of rice pops through on even the nicest cars).

Main reason the Hanabi were on the list was the fact they are 9'' wide... and they had a almost stock finish, the shiney silver, almost like clear coated aluminum. LC5 it is then i was hoping that would be the one people would like best. As ussual my thread is up and probably dead within 5 minutes

 

If you are concerned about your black moldings just use some Mothers Back to Black on it. Will make them look just like new. May save you a few bucks. Used the stuff on my 88 when I had it and made a world of a difference.

 

yeah, I have a bottle of that laying around somewhere. Mine arent just faded though (they are) but broken in several spots. So im just buying all new side trim. Why get a nice new paintjob and reuse old warped trim pieces

 

Thats funny... I did the same thing when I was trying to decide on my wheels... Except your photo-shop is descent... Mine sucked... Oh... And the place I bought them from sent the wrong wheels after all of that... They turned out looking good though...

The bronze is awesome...

 

So you got the LC5 then? They sent you the right set after you told them or what?

 

No... I ordered a cheap set of wheels and got the wrong set of cheap wheels... I put them on my car and they looked pretty good... So I kept the wrong ones... My tires where terrible and the wheels that came stock on my car where probably the ugliest available at the time... I was desperate... Below is what I have on my 7...

 

WRONG! It's bronze/gold on black. Here's proof.

 

Not bad at all. Never been a big fan of the little studs. Not only are they a pain in the *** to clean but sorta make the wheel look sloppy. Used to have a set almost like that but 7 spoke instead of 5. Still not bad overall. Thats why I like the LC5, simple and clean, not much going on, like studs or flashy **** on them. Just bronze smooth spokes

 

whoring that car again, i see...

 

Too bad its an Integra lol... not digging your headlights much, but your right, black w/ bronze is sex.

 

Is that a Z car...? j/k...

 

Its an RXIn7egra!!! Yo!

 

hey that black fc looks pretty good...i like it cause its original

 

Well wheels are an item that not many people seem to agree on. Its a personal touch.

Personaly i would get a black version of the first rims.. looks sharp up close and badass when spinning and far away.

 

bronze all the way!

 

the bronze look much nicer on the red than the first set.

 

get those Falkins (the first ones) in bronze...
