do NOT go with 20s, 18s are perfect and some 19's look good, and try to stick with 8 inches wide or wider...

19x10's or GO HOME

with a paint job like that you're gonna need something that makes a statement.

RP03's in SBC finish would look great. But there's a lot of choices to consider.

Brb w/pic's and spec options

I'd go with a dark rim 19s if he goes 18 I think the tire would fade into the wheel well

Honestly, with an over the top paint job like the one you have I would highly suggest going big on the wheels. I say polished or SBC.

The Tracer FS01's would look ok on your car - but a darker color will end up making them look bland. If you do get them tho, make sure you get a WIDE setting to make them flush. atleast by 9.5" wide with an aggressive offset.

I'm assuming you won't be tracking your car so the specs will probably reflect more form over function.

ugh...Advans' would look ok on his car - but it's his paint scheme that's kinda difficult to place - i wouldn't recomment black spokes because they'll probably go unnoticed compaired to his paint job (they'll probably be overlooked) the only reason i suggested polished or sbc is because i would hate to burn 3k on some wheels that people wouldn't really notice ya know?

but cheah...here's some black spoked ideas:

Advan RS-D



Black volk GT-s




Volk GT-F



Volk RE30's



Gram lights?? 57s titanium finish



gram light 57 maximum




possible winner? AME Tracer TM02's
