I chose a rim according to what i "should" get. Since i live where crappy roads are common, i wanted something nice looking yet not too expensive because it could get stolen or messed up due to the roads.

And i wanted 18s from the gecko. Since my car is red, i wasnt too sure if the black wheel on red would look nice (although after seeing rx7rage's car made me wish i did get black rims ) so i chose silver. Chrome looks a bit weird on a stock body red FD imo.


BTW, why dont you buy my rims?? Look in the wheels/tires section. They are 18s, comes with tires and you are relatively local so you can pickup.

well i dont have a specific price range yet, but so far im thinking it will be in the 1k-2k range thats for tires and rims (hopefully thats enough)

yeah i was questioning chrome cause i dont want it to be to flashy/gaudy(sp?) looking.

im not to much into spokes

i actually like how smg's rims on his car look cause i also have a red FD and his rims look very nice on the car

yeah, the mesh type wheel doesnt look as great on the stock body FD compared to like a good 5 spoke or something IMO. If i had some side skirts i'd prob keep my wheels but i want something along the lines of the RH C5's or some gram light pros.
