What do you think of these wheels?

What do you guys think of these wheels? They are 19" tsw thruxtons with 235 on the front and 275 on the rear.

I wouldn't choose them. If you're asking if they're ugly they're not and if i was given them i'd rock em' . . .

Heavy wheels with mediocre build quality that are too big in diameter for an FD. I guess not much could be worse than the Fittipaldi's in your signature though....

I think those rims would look better from the rear 3/4 veiw. I think they have a huge lip. I was interested in them for a while my self. Maybe some more pics?

if they are like $1000 or less with tires then jump on it other wise save up and get what you really want! but then again they are TSW's and thats a crap brand that you can pick up from pep boys- but they are 19's . damn tough call - yeah just base it on price.

They are actually my brothers off of his 1990 300zx tt. I just borrowed them to see what they would look like on my car. I like them but they are a little too big. On his car they look just right due to the fact that the 300zx is a bigger car.

They look good enough, but I hate 19's on a FD and I previously ran 275/235 combo and couldn't stand it.

Ya if I was to buy them I would get them in the 18" size. Thanks for the positive feedback on my car.

Actually the paint is Lamborghini Orange (the actual color the lamborghini's came in) and it cost me a pretty penny to paint my car that way. The Fittipaldi's came with the car when I bought it and I just haven't gotten around to buying different ones.

I want to change the spoiler as well but I will have to wait until I figure out which one I want instead. Until then I will have to use what I have.

I wouldn't worry too much about trying to please the forum members, your car isn't their car now is it? To each his own. I think it looks good in a unique way, with how you molded the sideskirts in and the tail light cover painted along with the car. The wheels are a bit big, but they do look pretty good...I've always been a sucker for 5 spoked rims. I think the front just looks oversized, the back could run a 19 and not look "crowded" in the wheel well. I'll second what the first guy said - "Its not my style, but I could dig it"

I don't like the idea of 19" wheels on a FD but I think they look good.

I don't like the taillight cover though.

The rear shot actually looks real good to me. Looks better than my FD i'd say . . . if it was my car i'd keep the tail light covers on and remove the wing
