fm5
|

profil 13

i have to decide between the two very quickly
|
I'm not a big fan of big wheels, and I love anything 5 spoke for the most part, so Its not a tough decision for me.
|
i always kindof liked the 5 star look
|
holy crap man.. why must you torture the eyes like this.. lloks to me like the fm5s have a deeper lip.. but those mutispoke ones are sexy too.. maybe a bit of a racer look with the multispoke ones.. but that would be my choice.!!
|
Which ever is better for performance. IE which one is lighter and wider?

ummm no im not a preist |
Are you getting a bangin' deal on these? I voted fort he multispoke 18s. But if i had a 3rd choice it would be the new CCWs
|
the multi-spoke wheels look much nicer imo... i think they make your car look classy...
the 5 star ones are nice, and have a nice lip, but they remind me of the american racing wheels that you see on a lot of foxbody mustangs.. |
The multi-spoke wheels look too busy to me.
|
fm5's...the 13's are nice, but they have no staggered lip...no thanx...
|
FM5's! Anything 5-spoke is great! Reminds me of ferrari, which established the 5-spoke as an ultimate racer wheel IMO.
I think many will agree that the multi-spoke gives it a more civil-classy look, but the FD is a "Sports" car, so the sports car rims (5-spoke) fit the car like none other. I plan on buying something 5-spoke but alloy and probably thinner spokes... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png |
jah, maybe thinner 5 spokes..
|
well this whole thread came up because i have the opportunity to trade my wheels and tires setup for the profil 13 rims, so my old rims and tires would get me almost new rims that are close to 900-1000 dollars per rim.
but i know what you guys are saying though.... the 5 spoke seems like pure intimidation... staggered lip, deep, shiney, and fat tires that make it look like a racer. but i have to buy a set of 18" tires...... thats a good 900 bucks to spend too that i wont have for a while... http://www.fikse.com/yourcar/street44.jpg profil 18's on the other hand are newer, same weight as the fm5's for a larger size, prettier to look at, but not as intimidating. although profil 13's are the favorite wheels of "real" racers. http://www.fikse.com/yourcar/race1.html (other cars like the pic below) http://www.fikse.com/yourcar/race1.jpg oh yeah.... goodfellasfd3s living pretty much around the corner doenst help my car's uniqueness with the wheels.. lol |
deep dish 5spoke!!! hell u know i love em https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/bigthumb.gif

i was looking at the profil13s also at the fm5s. however you do have a valid point about goodfellas. your fm5 are 17? the width and offset is the same?

Hey I get first dibs on your current rims if you do get some new ones. I pay top dollar, 2,000 pennies for you bro! |
the wheels may be the same weight, but the smaller fm5 wheels have less rotating inertia, thus take less torque to accelerate than than the profil13's. That said, I like the way the profil's look more because the fm5's remind me of the wheels that my friend put on his jeep wrangler. they just look odd b/c they dont have enough of a lip (the profils), so im gonna have to go with the fm5's

not entirely true.. i compared the weight of the rims to the tires that went on the rims... and the tires are heavier than the rims... with that said.. if you have 18's then you have less tires rotating |
try something new
|
Go with your currents goddammit!
|
keep the fikse's unless you wanna change you wanna be ProfilRxSeven.
|
Get Advan 3 spokes, like on Ricky Chu's 240SX. Those are tiddies.
