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! 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...

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...







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.

oh yeah.... goodfellasfd3s living pretty much around the corner doenst help my car's uniqueness with the wheels.. lol

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?
