Question Looking for wheels for my Silver FD

I like the polished aluminum or graphite color on something like a 10 or 12 spoke. See the attached image as a pretty good example from Konig. Of course, I'd like the wheel to be light and of good quality...

Anyone have suggestions?

How about some good sites/companies to view wheels?

I don't have any recommendations on rims for you, but Tire Rack is a decent place to view some:

All I get is their bloated Flash site - can't find 'deals' or even Tubolares.

if you want polished 10 spoke, you cant go wrong with Blitz Technospeed Z1s.

Thumbs up Sweet

That just reminds me of how much I prefer silver on the FD

Anyone else with pics of their SILVER FD and upgraded wheels????
I'd love to see them... especially if they're 10+ spoke.

Exclamation By the way

I'm not looking to go crazy with the size of the wheels/tires.

I'm thinking something like 17x8 all the way around... As for the tires, maybe a little wider and slightly lower profile than stockies.

Any opinions on this? (even if this isn't the right forum )

If you're referring the the attachment in the previous post:
No, not 14s... they're not even on my car - I edited them in (I'm still shopping). They more than cover my stock 16s in the photo though... so your size judgement is way off.

Just a joke. They look to small and cheap to be on an FD
