Ok, I basically know the look I am going for. However, I don't know enough about the different brand wheels to know if they have something that matches what i want...

want to stay with this look but light weight is important too. To be honest I don't know how much these weigh but I am willing to bet that they are on the lighter side of the spectrum.

Looking at the Volk GTP & the Kinesis K57

Do you know of any other good light weight wheels that have a smilar look that would be aestitically pleasing on a silver FD?

Volk GTP


Kinesis K57


Slightly out of my price range but thought I would consider it anyway

My pick is the fikse. I think you have to have the right look to a wheel for certain sizes and I think the fikse pulls off a 17" wheel nicely.

Vintage Red Touring

tough choices, but I'm a big fan of the Volk wheels. I like the GTP, but I think the Gram Lite 57 Pro's are amazing!
Polished lip with gun metal insert would look great on your silver car.

just my .02

Good luck

Found a photo of the Gramlights...the spokes are a little thin for me, but they do look good.

Damnit, this picking wheels is like naming your first born.

i will go for the Volk GT-P, although the FIKSE are awesomes, they looks like the RUF on the 87, 911 Yellow bird

I am leaning towards the GTPs..the price is right and they are a decent rim.

Ok, I just talked to Rishie and basically he said the 9s are available but the 10s will take 60-90 days to come in...Soooo, I decided to go ahead and get my rebuild done first. Damnit.

Rich, be prepared to see me at gotham at the end of the summer.

Hey, I like the fikse's too man... I didn't say they were ugly now did I?

Are Kinesis supposed to be lighter anyway? I thought the FM5's were pretty heavy...

Actually, the FM5s are 3 piece forged and pretty damn light for the size. It's the frickin S03s which weigh a ton. I like Kinesis very much, I was just bustin' yer *****

rx7gslse

it's all good...

I just prefer the darker more flat finish in the center than the full on shine of the FM5..

I prefer the Kinesis persoanlly, but with those three wheels it doesn't look like you could go wrong on any!
