I think Ive decided on the Rota slipstream wheels, in 16x7. Now I just can't decide on the gunmetal w/polished lip, or the bronze... Would the bronze on the lip get all scratched when put on a tire machine? That is the one major concern I have with the bronze. Right now I am leaning a bit more toward the gunmetal...even though I never really liked the dark wheel look, I think It blends nice with my car.. Anway, onto the pics, the 1st one Is my car now, with the 15" BBS 'vert wheels. The next 2 are photoshops of the wheels I am deciding on...please let me know what you think. Thanks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I like the vert wheels best on your car...

Those are the wheels I was planning on getting. Looks like theres now a handful of FC owners with Slipstream 16x7s.



I think they look good. The 16 I believe weighs in at 13.5 lbs. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png



I would get the polished lip ones on your FC, Rxmfn7

Thanks guys. Yea I love the BBS wheels too, but at 15x6.5, I would like something a bit taller, and a bit wider. So these in 16x7, and only weighing 2lbs more, is a pretty good tradeoff I think. ANyone else want to throw in their opinion??

moddified sleeper look

Isnt that an oxymoron? Sleepers are modified cars that look stock...

hmm, thats a tough one, they both look good. but im gonna go with bronze, cause everyone else likes the black ones...

I think the vert wheels look best, but if you really need the larger Rotas, I, personally, like the look of the black / polished ones over the bronze. Bronze looks okay, too, but more like what a Honda would have on it. Black centers and polished lip rims make the car look a little like those 80's era GTU race cars.
