Help me pick out wheels for my FC.

-5x114.3
-Darkish/hyper/gunmetal/black/something/dark silver...
-Something like 17x8 front and 17/18x9 or 10 rear.
-Thinking deep lip would be ****.

The XXR 006 really caught my eye...if this blue is close enough to my color, I might do that. Please excuse the five minute photoshop.



Problem is, after some searching, I'm not sure the blue is anywhere close.



Here's how the black/silver ones fit on an FC. I don't think a polished lip is anything I'm interested in.



Also eyeing up the XXR 962's...if only they came with the dark blue stripe!




This picture shows the two shades of paint I'm dealing with...the fender is how the car looks in the shade....the hood behind the car is how it looks in the sun. Hood that's on the car will be painted gloss black.




So, what do you think? How possible would it be to get them anodized/painted/powdercoated to match?

id skip on the XXRs in my opinion. Theres alot of better options out there are are more reputable. Put some more time into it, good wheels you should only have to buy once, not "hey they fit the bill".

+1 for waiting... Zilvia, RBwheels, and others have GREAT selections of used wheels for reasonable prices on sizes and name brands. I bought my "used" Work Equips and they were never even mounted on tires and used. Things were practically BRAND freaking new. Do some research and find out what you want in looks. There will be something out there for you.
