I would go with a neat looking 5 spoke black rims with a CHROME lip...

Or a black multispoke with chrome lip.

All 18"

Check out Exhibit A & B:

I thought you bought a red FTO?

it really depends on your personal preference
I prefer a light colour rim for a dark coloured car

like said depends on your taste. what look are you going after? race or show?

personally if i wanted a classy look i'd go machine faced metal. im a fan of the JDM scene so i love all race looking wheels and lightwieght.

im getting these when after my boykit

work miesters

or ssr professors

and ON THE WISH LIST are some Rays Gramlights 57D in FLURO ORANGE!!!!

For a red FTO try too find a set of white 17's. You could try black also however it probably wont look good if they sport a chrome/polished lip, there best reserved for black fto's

You can try:

hey j i really like that pic of that rim yeh thats what i going for like a red trim tire power is seilling the set of 17 inch for 1200 is that a good price or rip off?

shame, i was selling those for $450 with tyres... 17x7 but im keeping them for track use/spares and if they are up for sale they are shotguned to topao if he still wants them

I bought mine for$ 800 with tyres because it was their last set before reordering. 1800 is a decent price IF tyres are included. Note if you get these exact rims you'll need a 3mm spacer or the center caps wont fit. They look great on the fto

I agree 100% red and black just go together, and the chrome lip just looks good as a contrast between the two.
