ok so im searching for rims for the 94 white fd, pretty fricken low, if you need pics i can attach. It's going to had RE-A diffuser, rolled rear lips, feed sides, feed front fenders (+25mm) feed type2r bumper...all repainted in white.
So I'm looking for rims in a proper size (wanted something wider in the rear, but looks like 9.5's all around unless i stumble along someting)
so here's a set i was looking at, they have an optional pinstripe which normally i dont like but this one i can choose the color on so im trying to decide if white looks good on a white car.
I took a s2k pic which had red pinstripes and converted them to black and white, they arent actual images of the real pinstriping so dont mind if color/shadowing is a tad off, it was a quick dirty PS job.
opinions? other wheel choices?
crap how do i free up space in my attachments editor, i only have 2.3kb left....
link to pics of rim choices: http://gallery.me.com/teknics#100107
lets try linking to them:
dunno if the linked images will show...never tried it.

yea it reminds me of a whitewall tire i think.
Found nicer, more dished, 6 spoke rims i might go with, same style of spoke-ness just 1 less spoke
now gunmetal, flat black, hyper black, or yamaha black (super glossy black apparently = yamaha black?)
leaning gunmetal.

how much money for your fn01rcs? what size's offsets?
and yea mike i dont think the glossy or hyper black are for me. the flat black isnt a real flat black its like a semi-gloss so i may go with that, gunmetal looks nice tho.
