Talking which rims look the best on FD?!!


5zigen Typhoon

5ZR

Heidfeld


Racing Sparco NTR

Those are the rims I can afford. I know that Viper-R and volks look nice, but $$$$ and also Advans. I know some of them cost around $2300 to $2500 but, not now. So What you think...........

Thanks

P.S just for now, so I can throw something on my car!!

I vote that you get 3 more spare rims and drive on those!

seriously, I am trying to save up for rims, but they are so far down the list with what I want to do with my car (plus they are Super Avanis...the 3 spoke black ones with the red lip....sooooooooooooo badass), that I decided to powdercoat my stock rims for now. The will look good, have an aftermarket effect, and cost a lot less...since it sounds like you want to get one of these sets of rims until you can eventually afford the Vipers or Avanis or whatever you have your heart set on. If you have your heart set on new rims, I like the first 2 sets, the typhoon and the 5zr....might also depend on what color your car is

I wanted the Heidfeld 3pc back when I was looking for wheels. I don't like the 5ZR, Typhoon would be alright, and the Sparco looks like a stock F360 wheel.

Just go with the Fiske FM10!

Neokai has the 5ZR's on his CYM FD, I believe. You can ask him for a picture, or search for one of his posts, I think he has a link to his car in his sig.

Fan of Advan....

I would love these on my FD..for sure...would not settle for less....

Advan Connoisseur No. 51C




Advan AVS Model 5



Advan SIENNA Generation II



Advan AVS Model 7




Might wanna save up and get anyone of these....you'll end up paying a grand or more but you won't end up selling those rims that you are sick of after 1 month.

Cheers

Top ones(typhoons) are HOT and would look great on a silver car! Dunno what color car you have, but i like those the best. 2nd choice is the second 5 stars.

It is hard to beat those Fikse FM-10 wheels, in my opinion. I like a lot of the "mesh" style wheels, but those FM-10s......ahhhhhhhhh! The Racing Hart C2s are excellent also, as are Konig IMAGINEs.
I am not a big fan of any of the "spoke" type aftermarket wheels.....most are not as good looking, once again IN MY OPINION as the stock wheel, and other than getting a larger diameter wheel, why bother?

Thanks for the compliment. I like them a lot, and being in college they are not expensive wheels like the others listed. They are Made by a company called Advanti Racing. the style is enigma.

What side skirts are on the Blue FD posted above?? They are very close to stock, but if you look, they flair in front of the side vent.
