hey i have a red 89 TII, and im thinking about a set of black or dark colored wheels, but i dont know if say a gunmetal color will look better then a plain black or not, plus theres always that polished lip that usally looks good, any help would be great, just figured there has to be a few people who has dark wheel already on a red Fc, thanks in advance

I did a photoshop of my car a while back to see what black wheels would look like on it. I did it to to see what it'd be like if I powdercoated the spokes black and left a polished lip. Here's the pic, hope this helps

i kinda like the black wheels, what size are your wheels, they seem small or maybe its just not lowered?...i was thinkin 17s but im not sure, i just dont like the real flashy look, but i want it to look like i have wheels too, not just stocks

by the way that photoshop job is pretty good.....

Wheels are 16x7, might just be the angle that they look so small, dunno. Car is lowered too.

Thanks, I do my best

nice, are those gunmetal? i was thinking about the CF hood too so that kinda gives me a pic to think about

domesttuner

no they are flatblack. motegi rt5. the hood isn't carbon, but i was thinking the same thing when i got the tII hood. i figured, if i am going to wait to paint it, i may as well have a colorf that matches.

i'm gonna lower it and tint my ftp lenses (i have them in now, i just have to switch bulbs (100w puts out a lot of heat!!))

Don't do a straight black wheel. Black wheels are so played out already. Go with a dark bronze or gunmetal sorta color. Also make sure you go with a good Japanese wheel company. Such as, Work, Volk, Advan, Ect.. don't do the cheap imatation wheels that everyone has. Make sure it's a forged wheel not cast, cast sucks. Well that's just my two cents. Good luck

i want a good brand but if there to hard to get thats a pain in the ***, i really want forged and i was thinking about bronze or gunmetal i need some pics, though, thats to much money to spend and not be 100% happy with

good brands are all subjective. all wheels made have to go through federal standard training, and so they are all safe. how yo plan on using it, however, depends on the wheel you should get.

i don't see the point on getting a set of wheels that cost more than half of your car, unless you have a real beater with bent and/or broken rims. i payed 750 for my wheels and tires, and though they are motgei, they are plenty strong for my uses, and i have got nothing but compliemts for them, and how it matches the scheme of my car.
