im really leaning toward chrome, i think the black wheel thing is getting way over done, i see guys spray painting their rims black on everything, like a 2000 model or so toyota avalon the other day. lol.

the black chrome look cool, im just not sure it would look good with my red, nothing else is shiny black.

im thinking chrome fr500s or gt4 style wheels, i think the chrome will set off the car and tie in the 5.0 emblem and the chrome on the headlamp/foglamps.


anyone know the back spacing for a little off set on the rear? id like a small lip on front rim and a larger one out back.

im thinking of going 18x9 in front and 18x10 in rear, my tires are almost new so ill go back with them. they are 225-55-18 on front and 235-55-18 on rear. yokohama yk580s.

I agree with chrome. You don't want 19s?

I think with the darker red (darker than my race red) chrome would look better...but I would not go with 18's....19's or even 20's look so much better.

gun metal i have have considered im just not sure, would like to see pics of actual cars with the different colors.

and yeah im sticking with the 18" because i want the taller sidewalls, makes for a smoother ride, and where i live with all the oilfield truck traffic our roads are trashed, pot holes and torn up spots everywhere.

20s look awesome but i cant do that 35-40 series tire. im kinda old school too, i like a thick tire not the thin rubber band look.

Gunmetal or black. Chrome wheels on a sports car is like wearing loafers with a jogging suit.
