What Wheels and tyres should i get for my FTO?!?!?

[Kustom]

Those Lenso's are hot...

And those speedy GTR sports look very similar to the rims on my car.

Your car looks nice, those style rims suit it well but i am not a fan of those style of side skirts.

Sorry, but don't get cheap chinese wheels.
Look good at first, but tacky later on, save up and get a good set of Jap items! my 2c

just purchased the wheels and tires 2day i got 17" ENKEI KLAMP's that are costing me $1270 with tyres. their the last 4 rims like that in Aus thats why there so cheap because i cant buy replacements

tyres are $139 each and there a middle of the range nexen. maxis was $150 (harder compound), bf goodrich was $180
the guy that talked me into the tyres said there really good value and he has them on his r33.

rims were $195 ea and tyres are $139ea so i saved $66

[Astron_Boy]

[brent88]

[Astron_Boy]

Tyres are fine.
Price on the wheels was good!

[Kustom]

They don't really do it for me.

[spency]

pics will justify the looks.

[zuihoujueding]

[brent88]

what do ya's think? (need better photo's)

The bottom photo shows the true colour of the whole car, just couldent get good lighting for the others.

[brent88]

gonna have to paint them brake calipers maybe red this weekend, wheres the best guide for them? link?

[Kustom]

Not a fan but if your happy then its all good

EDIT: You have moisture in your drivers side foglight incase you didn't know

[MH999]

Your car looks ok but with a bodykit like that it really needs 18-19 inch wheels to fill those arches but if you like it then its ok.

[aza013]

You don't need bigger rims just lower the car.
But I think they look good.

[zuihoujueding]

You don't need bigger rims just lower the car.
But I think they look good.

agreed. and it seems u need bigger brake system to fill out the gap as the bigger rim size makes the current brakes looks small.

[brent88]

yeah i know about the foglight thanx.

want to keep a bit of driveability so dont wanna lower it too much and if i do it will only be springs(gettinmg a quote 2moro)

ill probably just leave these rotors on because larger ones are expensive arnt they? ill just paint the calipers red probably for now. should i change the pads at the same time? there like 75% at the front and 50%at the rear?

always open to suggestions for upgrades( rotor, pads, suspension etc)

[zuihoujueding]

i reckon you can try to get a quote on the street series(slotted) from dba and they should not be that expensive. But its not that crucial. You can probably wait when you have a proper budget.

bendix general pads are more than enough for street applications and they are sold in nearly every auto strore so you can compare prices.
