Do we like these rims?

I can't seem to make any decisions without other people's opinions. I've been that way forever. My plans of buying Tenzo R rims was shot down recently when I found out that they were not very good. I was wondering if:
1. These rims would fit
2. If they would look good
3. Opinions

idk man, personnaly I think if a rim is 18 inches, it had better be able to at least support a 275mm tire if not bigger. Thats just me though. In anycase, its a nice rim and in the end, your gonna have to be the one that lives with it.

Good luck

P.S. Your asking about if they would fit a FD right? If so, the bolt pattern is right (114.3X5 for the fd) although it does not give any info on the back spacing, i guess you can always run spacers and longer lugs...

OK, thanks for the input.
I have another question though. I really like the looks of this style of rim. What other types of rims would you recommend? I want to get 18" or 19", gunmetal or hyper silver, and I like the design of the rims above (also, the BBS RGR and GT-R). Any suggestions? I am asking a lot of questions, but I want to get an idea of exactly what I want in and on my car in the following years, so don't have to do a lot of research later. Thanks,
Tyler

I like them never seen them on an FD so something orignal you really have to specify what you want to run and your suspsension setup. Most 18x10's require 2.5 coilovers if I remember correctly. With diffrent offsets. I think with 19's the fenders need to be rolled but hopefully someone with a more concrete knowledge will step in an assist you...

The Wheel Max logo had me scared, but I actually do like the way those look. However, they are probably:
- poor quality (heavy, weak, or both)
- too narrow to be considered an upgrade on the FD
- not the right offset

Ask ARD T2 for some wheel recommendations. He knows a lot of wheels and can probably find something decent in your price range that meets your aesthetic requirements as well.

I think they look awesome. I love rims that you can see right in to, exposing the disks!

On a black, silver, or blue FD those would look HOT. I tend to go for 5-spoke rims myself though.

I hate the bolts/rivet look. I'd rather get the BBS RG-Rs.

Not true at all, those are universal rims meaning-many companies call them their own. Those are made in Germany and they do exist wider than 8in. Checkout wheelmania.co.uk
