So I am thinking about getting new wheels here pretty soon and I have a couple Q for anybody that can help.

1. I have a silver RD2, what should I go with Gunmetal with chrome lip or Black with chrome lip?

2. Should I do 17's or 18's?

3. Will 18's fit with no problems? ( car is not lowered yet)

what do you guys think. thanks

all depends on a tires you will use, for 18" you will have to use very low profile tires (like 35). your ride will be very hard and it's the way easier to damage the rim. Also 18" are heavier than 17" (or 16").

it's up to you.



IMO 18" is rice

Please please please dont get 18's!!!! They will make your car look like shit. But if you want to feel like you drive a truck, go ahead and get them smile.gif

16's look the best on most tibs. Ive seen some 17's look good though.

I'de go with gunmetal over black on silver.


Also, why dont you lower the car first? This is a must, your car will be like a foot off the ground man

Right now I am geared to going gunmetal, 17's and lowering it. Just wanted to get some extra in put on what looks good on these cars because everyone try's different things. I plan on keeping car silver or going like a metallic aqua color, with full Zefiro body kit, CF hood. So I wanted to see what would be best rim for both color choices.

Thanks for your guys input.

I dont like 16's to small for me. I plan on doing more show with a little go. I get in trouble with speed.
