Rims
What would you guys suggest as some cheap 17 inch rims for the FTO? I wouldve liked Racinghart RS721s but I can only find them in 19s, and are quite expensive. Looking to spend about 700 for the set. Ideas?

Re: Rims
18s are a little big.. are those the big silver ones you have on at the moment? if so, no thanks, im looking for more racing/performance type rims, not "bling" type chromies

Re: Rims
If the profile on the rims are correct there should be no overall size difference between the two - the larger the rim the smaller the tyre.Daniel2019 wrote:18s are a little big..

Re: Rims
Yeah what I mean is that I dont want huge rims, I dont really fancy the look of anything over about 17s on an FTO personally.

Re: Rims
Unfortunately rims are last or very close to on my list (for my street fto i gotta fund a racecar now too)
Next up is heads, fly, clutch, tune, fuel pump, matte black wrap, nice gt wing then eventually plates and rims...lol
