What Would Look Good

Hey guys,
First of all the car is not delivered yet but like to know what wheels would look good for this color of the car. I will most likely keep this color or repaint midnight blue but looking for 18's and a really tight budget of 1,000.......

Is that budget for wheels and tires, or just wheels?

I would suggest looking at some used wheels on VRWheels:

VR Wheels WebStore, Presented By VR Motoring

You can typically find some good deals.

VMR wheels are mainly Audi & BMW wheels. You'll notice, there isn't a correct bolt pattern available in their 18" sizes for the FD. They do have the correct bolt pattern in the 19", but I wouldn't put 19's on a FD. They aren't the lightest things around, but they are built well.

Point taken. Time to look somewhere else.

Congrats on the new ride OP.
With the size that you want and considering your budget, maybe try lurking in the Zilviadotnet for sale section. Those guys are selling or trading wheels all the time.

Look for some name brand quality used wheels, plenty of choices out there. Dark color wheels look great on MB such as BBS's Diamond Black color.

You can also browse JDM section to find something you like then use the search function with xy wheel name... This will pull from 34 other websites all at once.

Check out the Enkei wheels at AutoRnD. These seem like some of the better values out there.

I like 5 spoke-ish wheels on these cars, but it is a personal preference.
