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.

 

Those Enkei's are definitely not my style at all... but for some reason, I really like them.

That black Fit with the TE's is gorgeous.

 

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.

 

here's mine with the DZ21's in gunmetal.

i'll tell you that my picts do not do justice.... looks 10x better in person.

 

looks real nice, thanks for the pics.

 

now my desicion just got harder, i was trying to avoid konig heliums because so many people already have them, but i guess theres a good reason, they look so nice and clean.

 

What kinda rims are those?

 

drag wheels, check edge racing

 

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.

 

jpspeed- the thing about those heliums is that they look nice, but
everyone already has them. how about being a little unique?

 

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.

 

why? cause they are copies?

 

yes i think your right , they are 16 on both cars, i like the 5zigens also, but the one on the top i like as well except for the fact that they are made by spun, pretty new wheel company also making replicas. but i was hoping they would look something like the pic below. the drags are kinda my last choice.

 

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.

 

I Like the enkei's and check out the buddy Club PF very affordable wheels and not knockoffs

 

the buddy clubs are pretty cheap but i dont like colors available, the 5zigen is sorta the same style and around the same price, maybe a little more.

 

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.

 

those are 15s
