FikseRxSeven 09-26-2005 06:59 PM

mesh type rims always look good on 7's

SilverSeven 09-26-2005 07:05 PM

I think I like them. Let's get some mounted pics.

I agree...these always look good on a 7...but I too wanna see 'em on baby!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I'm not sure if I dig the faux deep-dish look, though. They remind me of Blitz TechnoSpeed Z-1 in that respect. Big damned lip, but only because the spokes angle backwards hardcore.

I think they should look good. We are still trying to figure out if they are gonna require fender rolling though. I figured they would, but the seller is saying no worries. I guess we'll see.

Those are gonna be ILL.

WolfpackFD3S 09-29-2005 11:39 AM

Those are going to look awesome on your car, I am a big fan of mesh type rims on FDs.

KingFD 10-02-2005 02:01 AM

I like 'em. Agreed that the mesh wheels look good on FDs. Five spokes look good as well.

matts86fc3s 10-13-2005 12:48 AM

i just bought a set just like that only not that style for my fc... size rear are 18x9.5, front 18x8.5, polished lip, with dark center big five spoke pattern... i love huuuge lip rims on rear wheel drive cars... makes them look nasty like you dont want none... nice

89 Rag 10-13-2005 01:10 AM

No clue. Not really a big concern of mine at the moment anyways. Car is 10,000 miles away and the soonest I'll see it is January. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif
