I'm shopping for rims for my Montego Blue FD. Would bronze or gun metal look ok on the car? I like the SSR GT1, Blitz Technospeed Z1, and Volk Racing TE37 and Challenege rims. Not a big fan or many other styles.

What are the perfect sizes for the FD? My car is lowered 1" in the front and 1.6" in the rear.

 

I am in your boat my man. I have a montego blue FD and I am totally lost on color of rims.

Bronze would look good but too much like a subaru?? I'm not sure....

White looks great but you better like to clean your rims alot!

Black....don't know

gunmetal....I like esp if it has a chrome lip


anyway check out the other thread going...

 

Something with a gunmetal center and a polished lip will look awesome on the blue. I have seen this combo on a 10am miata and it looked very very good. They were the SSR Competition wheels. The blue on the FD is a little darker but it shouls still look good.

 

I agree, the gunmetal with a contrasting lip, anodized/polished/machined, whatever it may be, will look really good.

I have a set of SSR Competitions in a 17,8.5 and 17,9.5 in stock that I will blow away as I had ordered them for a customer, but he had already purchased a set, so I'm stuck with them and the bill. If you're interested e-mail me at autornd@hotmail.com. You can get wholesale on this. Still a six spoke, like the TE's, but a deeper lip and it's machined w/clearcoat. I love the finish on this rim because the face of it looks anodized, shimmers.

I'm sure you've seen it along with the GT1's, I just put a set on one of my cars 18", at tirerack.com. But you haven't listed it as a potential wheel, so it was worth a shot.

I'm doing the volk thing here as well, so if that's an option let me know too. But the comps would be one hell of a deal and just as light as the volks, maybe .5 lb. heavier.

Good luck, Rishie
