New wheel opinions

Postby iani1.1 » Wed Jun 30, 2010 9:14

So I sold the silver fc and im left with black fc which is suppose to be my sisters car but I went ahead and bought her a different car just so I can have the black fc. :D

Anyways now that I have another fc in my hands I'm looking to VIP this one or atleast make it look nice. I have coilovers, camber kit and other necessary crap ready to be put in now I just need a set of kicks but cant decide. I preferably want something that looks VIP (Low offset, no less than 18in and looks luxurious.

My choices are:

Work Euroline
Image

J Line VIP
Image

Work D3S
Image

im open to suggestions and opinions.

and oh yeah the car will soon be converted into a 5spd manual.

Not a huge fan of VIP, but I can appreciate the style.

That said, I would go with Work D3S

^Agreed, D3S is probably the best of those 3 options IMO. That Euroline look is kinda played, but that D3S is pretty ballin.

There might be something even better out there but I'm not really into VIP either so I'd have no idea where to start looking. I know most of the companies that make our kinds of wheels also make VIP type wheels. Not just Work but Weds, Volk, I think Enkei even makes some. Might check there to see if you like any other styles.

Speaking of VIP, I think his FD is kinda VIP style and has been WAY overdone IMO, but I can appreciate it contains the culture of their country.

I've always like the deep dish look, but I'm not a big fan of the style above. I'd probably have to see a pic of them on a car. I must say the last pic on the red one does look nice.

I like the D3S but they are hard to find wheels in the specs that you want and also expensive in 19s. I'm already shopping around for these if not i might just get the Euroline.

Also I'm trying to stray from the VIP side more like Hella Flush. So any rim style I could settle with. Though I would still prefer something VIP.

heres one with Work Eurolines

And for you FD guys.

that last car is beautiful. Looking over the wheel choices, i like the lugs exposed as opposed to having them covered with a wheel cap.

Yeah I've seen that FD. I was not happy or impressed LOL. Actually it's alright, it just doesn't look right to me with those wheels, like a set of track wheels would. Neither does the FC though, but hey, it's your car.

What do you mean you're trying to stray from VIP style but you still want VIP?? LOL

I want VIP wheels but not the VIP look? I dont know how to explain it lol

Hella flush with baller wheels I think is the best way to explain it. It will still be a weekend scca car and a daily driven baller car lol

IMHO that FD looks like a pile of vomit.

It probably is pushing roughly an extra 250lbs worth of bling, stereo, and bullshit. I bet it's slower than a stock FD.

Look through more choices in the J-lines they have some nice wheels also check out AME. I saw these and thought they were kind of cool also. Volk also has some nice "baller VIP style ish" wheels.Image
