Berto Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Hey guys next mod for the FC is wheels but I can't decide which ones to get (I'm sure you all have been there). 18x8 Front and 18x9 Rear Right now the current leader is the staggered mesh wheels with some nice lips. I like the look AND the stock FC runs a mesh wheel on the 91 and verts. So it still has a 'stockish' look. Primarily looking at a silver wheel, but I would consider black mesh with silver lip (kind of played out though ) http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/IMG_1727.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/IMG_6353.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/DSC02913.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/DSC00273.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/56798613xp2.jpg Next I am looking at a wheel 'similar' to the one I have now, which is a split spoke design. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/rx7pics069-2.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/rx7pics084-2.jpg Last choice right now is a Bronze no lip wheel, this one is a Work Kai. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/RX-7/RX7%20Wheel%20decisions/img1692hz8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradyPPC Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I personally like the last one the best. It looks a little more modern in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I like them all, but my favorite would be the 2nd choice (split spokes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 First option, by leaps and bounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I've heard you don't want to run a wider rear tire on an FC becuase of a tendency to push over the front tires in turns fyi all those wheel look cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHaze Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 First option. I thought that the second set looked cheaper, as I've seen that style in knockoff form a lot. The last one is indeed more modern, but clearly the body style of the FC isn't modern and I believe it makes them clash. The first set is tried-and-true.

Main3s Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 First set was the better of the 3 IMO, but I'm not really a big fan of any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Splits are :gay: I like the first one, just because I do like a good lip on the wheel. However, the last ones are great too. Don't get split-5 spoke. I know I have them on my Vette, but the FC looks waay better with the mesh/lip wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 I think the convertable FC wheels were BBS'. Correct but they are only 15" x 6.5" Berto, You've seen the BBS's on my black FC, imagine those but in 17" sizes and a different color.
