Looking for rims....Open to suggestions

My fc is white. Which is, I think as well as others, the best color on an fc. Having said that, I think the best color rims to match that exterior color are black rims. The combination just looks amazing. So, if you could post pictures of your rims. I would like to get an idea of which ones I would like. Also, if you have a website or an online catalog I would love to look at that as well. Thanks in advance.

There is a whole section of the forum for Rims/Suspension questions.

The two FC lug patterns are
4x114.3
5x114.3

Personally I love mesh rims on these cars and love black rims on white cars. Some 5-spoke designs also look very nice. Other than that I'm generally not a big fan.

If you do have a 4 lug FC I have some Borbet rims for sale.

There is a link to my for sale thread in my signature. Really I've been trying to get rid of them for so long I'm ready to take pretty much any reasonable offer.

What kind of rims do you prefer? 5 spoke, mesh, BBS style, what? What size are you looking for (diameter and width)? Are you willing to paint the rims? Is this only for looks or is it for a performance gain too (how light do you want)?

I like the Mustang GT wheels, they're 17x8, 30mm offset, fit perfectly, are cheap and relatively light. They're silver though, but a little paint can fix it.

im not sure which ones i prefer. Im looking at www.wheelsnext.com trying to find something i remotely like. and im honestly getting frustrated. http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...color=GUNMETAL something like that looks good but even that honestly has too many spokes. I have 15s now. I would like a performance gain mostly but I dont want some ugly **** on my 7. We all have to represent right? I really dont prefer the mesh unless its a vert, but I dont own a vert. What are other styles beyond mesh and spoked? What does the offset mean? Thanks again.

I suggest you talk to Rishie at AutoRnD
He'll recommend the right wheel for you based off of your needs in the right size and offset.

Btw, the offset is how far inward or outward a wheel sits. The lower the offset, on into the negatives, the further the rim will be from the suspension. The higher the offset, the more inwards, towards the suspension, it will be.

I love my OZ ultraleggerras. They were one of the lightest rims I could find for my FC.

I have gotten alot of compliments on them, but they don't really catch your eye too much, either. Just perfect.
