Beautiful Wheels

I was looking around the forum reading about the biggest wheels to fit on my FD, some say 18 some say stay stock. I guess I havent decided, but If I wanted it for just show. Then these would be the ones. 19"



They start at $1200 each. Not including tires.

BLING,BLING

I figure it would cost about $6000 for the wheels and tires. Maybe when my insurance settlement comes ;-)

nice, but they do not belong within 50 feet from an FD.

Those things must weigh a ton, and chrome? No thanks. Get some nice lightweight Japanese wheels.

Hey, I knew what you meant I think they LOOK super sweet as I said.

People just can't stand the ideas of 19" (or sometimes 18") rims on an FD, and don't read because they assume you're trying to rice out your street car.

Who cares if they weigh a ton for your purposes they look great.
