new rims cant decide, pics
here are my wheel choices, what do you think, im all over the place on this, really cant decide. the only thing im sure of is they will be 15s. im leaning towards the sw505 in bronze which is a gram lights 57C replica, or the enkei FN18, i have not seen these rims on anyboby else car. keep in mind i like the look of the two cars below in the picture of the side by side fits, and the other two pics are my car as it stands now. anybody got skills in photoshop.

thats exactly how i felt, i like the clean simple route, but i also like my rims to look a little different, ive seen the 5zigens on a vbp on here ,but it wasnt lowered so they looked really small for some reason. if i could i would get gram lights 57c or volk te37, but to much money for me and my purpose, daily driver.

np, i'll post up better picts when it gets warmer.
the quality of the wheels themselves looks to be pretty good. it's all
salted up right now but no sign of corrosion yet. it's been about 3.5wks
now since i put them on.
the crap lugs that the shop gave me (free) rusted in no time, so
i replaced those with black powder coated lugs and they seem to
be holding up well.
will see how it handles the chicago winter.

thats why i have so many choices on my first post, i think the enkeis are the most unique, and the gram light replica at the top of the page will probably be my choice in something bronze. but i would be the only fit in fort lauderdale with the heliums that i know of if i got them, and thats unique enough for me. i have been racking my brain for weeks now over this decision, almost ready to close my eyes and point to pick.

i mean...i have a biased opinion. i hate ROTA...and i hate Drag rims.
out of all those choices i would rock the fno1rc though.
but make sure you get the bronze color..or the polish silver. both will look sick.
but if you must and cant afford the 5zigen rims...get the gold rpf1 copies from drag. i think that too will look nice. but make sure they are 16"...the spokes look to small for both those rims..
those to cars side by side...dont look like they are rocking 15" rims.. correct me if im wrong. but the gt3 in 15" looks REALLY small on a fit.

well at least you know the heliums WILL look good on your car.
the enkei look (DZ21)'s i have were actually my 2nd choice. my
originial choice was the popular volk TE37 look in 16's in gunmetal.
the shop i bought the DZ's from (one6motorsports) had both in stock.
but i knew in my gut that i'll end up getting the more unique DZ's
in gunmetal later on so just got them. and im glad i did now cause
i wont have to buy another set of wheels for a while...lol.
even the guys at the shop mentioned i made the right choice
even though it was cheaper for me to buy.

i dont have a problem rocking fake wheels on a daily driver thats not garaged, if i wanted i could save and buy volks or works, and then be worried all say that somebody will steal them.

well not that they are just copies. the quality of the rim. i mean there is a point to pay more for the real things. you dont just pay for the name.
the spun mesh wheels look decent. i would rock those for the daily. everyone has rotas around here. so thats why i hate then.
its not my car, do what you like of course..but thats why i say that i wouldnt rock those drag/rota rims.
granite dont get me wrong i like the styles they have. i cant find me a great set of regamaster evos in white 16". i was thinking about settling for the rotas...but something just turned me away. even though they are copies..they just dont look the same.
