Help me choose new wheels for my FD..

Here is a picture of my car and i have the ssr comp-h wheels which are quiet old.. they are brand new and they look very nice but i feel like its time for a more aggressive looking wheel that goes with the rest of my car.






i would like to get a set of wheels with a nice lip. pref 9.5 on the front and 11.5 or 12 inches in the back. here are some pics of the wheels that im looking at and if u have any in mind please post pic. thanks!


i forgot to mention.. they got to be black or black center piece with a chrome lip.

I like the new Kinesis K118, but they appear too "exotic" for an FD...not saying that the FD isn't comparative to an exotic, of course! It's just has Porsche written on it.

My vote goes to any of your mesh wheel choices. You're going to get a lot of votes for the CCW Classics. BTW, what type of wheel brand is the one below the CCWs?

First, beautiful car.... and what a nice lil 3-rotor you have in there as well!

Personally, my two favorites are the first two pics. I like the Kinesis best, but the pic states it is a 19" or 20" rim. I do not think 19's fit very well visuall on an FD. Maybe in the rear, but certainly not in the front. Again, this is just a personal opinion. The first rim would look good on the car and definately give it a bit more of aggresiveness without over-doing it. Both those rims are aggressive, yet clean and simple.

edit... Just saw what mahjik posted. That takes the cake. wow....

I agree with FDZero. Those K118 look like they belong on renntech modified porsches lol.

Have you seen those cars? OMG, sex on wheels.

Not saying FD's arent. But i believe CCW's classics would be more appropiate.

Its subtle but still screams, "im a beast" lol.

wow! those jline... i think im in love!

good point arkman.

yea, i'm actually looking for 18's not 19's so i guess that takes care of the kinesis.. the ssrs do come in 18's though. those jlines are sick!

BBS LMs are another choice. If I had the bucks, it would be either those or CCWs.

Stay away from BBS lm's they are mine! You can't get anything wider then a 10" wheel anyways. Here are some ccw classics on a fd, I think they look sick:

hre 540

hre 545

Advan Model 5

360 forged straight five (this photo is actually my desktop background at home)



360 spec five


work vs-xx (my current wheel)
