OZ Please! the chrome suck, do not put those on unless you are are a pimp. If you are a pimp, get another car!

I'm sure the chrome will be very heavy. At least the OZ are decently light and a nice color. Not even a question, the answer is obvious.

Oh yeah, get the 17s not the 18s. Performance an ride is actually degraded at that size. For the most part, 17s are considered the "performance" size. check out the comparison in Grass Roots Motorsports.

When I bought my R2 it was sportin some bling chrome rims.

They were melted into scrap metal to make this world a more beautiful place.

I like the style of the chrome rims. Just don't get the chrome finish. That style looks SOOO good on an FD (I have them in black!)

When did GRM do a tire/wheel test on the FD?

18s are also a good choice for the track and autocross.

Not a specific test for the FD, it was on a 3 series but I believe the general rules of physics apply.
