Hey guise! Not looking to sell anymore since I wont be leaving for a bit longer..

I have a 93 red fd with the same crappy off brand wheels from when I bought it, the new wheels Ive decided on are the Cosmis racing xt-206r but I am stuck between the black chrome or the bronze. I like them both equally

here is a pic of my car plus the 2 different xt-206r's. Just looking for opinons! they will by 18x9 +33 in the front and 18x9.5 +10 rear

The only slight issue I have with black chrome is ive never really seen this color in person.

Thanks for the help deciding!

I think the black chrome look better with red.

I honestly think the black chrome will be better. The bronze is too light for a red FD.
And you must be going wide bodied because that 18x9.5 +10 won't work in the rear with stock fenders.

I was looking in the wheel fitment thread, based on reading I thought as long as you have a positive offset 18x10 and anything smaller worked fine? Maybe a tiny bit of fender roll.

I can't say that I have exact experience with the 206r but I do have the Cosmis Racing MRII and I know the 18x9.5 +15 sticks out well past the stock fenders. I went with FEED front fenders and an aggressive rear roll/pull.

ok well without any body mods the next option for the 206r i could do would be 18x9 +33 on all 4 wheels. do you think that would sit pretty flush and nice?

+4...if my count is right.

18x9 +33 with a 255/35 at each corner will fit well but you'll need a fender roll in the front. In the rear you're fine with that size, if you roll you can get away with a 20mm spacer.

The 10" rear works with rolling fender and a +25ish, but not a +10. This is also with a 265/35 on the 10 in the rear, move to a 285 and you obviously have less room (probably 10ish mm less).

I appreciate the help! No color vote?? the black chrome is pulling away fast, my friends agree too.

I had a red FB with gold enkei wheels that looked really good. You should get the wheel color you like. It doesnt matter what others think. I like both colors.

It would be better to photo shop the car with both sets of wheels to make the choice.

I like the black chrome. I run 18x9.5, 35 offset all round with 245/30/R18 tires. No rubbing or scrubbing or issues.

Unfortunately the 9.5s are only available in a +10, as far as I can find at least, once you drop to a 9in wide they are +33, I wish they had more options

I have 0 photoshop skills lol. And thanks for the input but I'm asking cuz I seriously couldn't decide, I liked both colors equally lol and time is running out to get them ready for the 4th of July meet

You might want to check the aspect ratio on your tires again, a 245/30 is a rubber hand

Black Chrome!!! FTW!!!!

ok black chrome it is. Im gonna do the 18x9 +33 all around, I want a clean flush look while barely having to do any roll, none if at all possible. What tire would be best for that look? can I get away with some stretch on a 9 wide tire and still be flush with the body?

Would a 225/40 on 18x9 +33 fit well? I like the stretch look, but only just a little to see that lip, mostly concerned about clearance.

its funny cause when i first saw those wheels i really liked them as well, but something to watch out for is the design change in the wheel with the 33 offset, it no longer has a smooth concave offset, if that makes sense. the wheels spokes have a curve in them to make up for the higher offset. and the other offsets just arent functional in my opinion. but interested in seeing what they look like anyways!
i vote black chrome

I didnt even notice, I am ordering anyways, as far as tires im looking at the Hankook ventus v12 evo2 in a 225/40... thoughts? hankook isnt a brand im used to.

I think the bronze wheels would match the car better. If you have a clean buttercup interior, the wheels will nearly match the interior color.
