those actually look good.
Anyone else think it should have red center caps like the FRS concept (well to match the concept)? lol |

Those have moved to near the top of my favorite rims.

Looks great, but I wish they were symmetrical! (I do like the thin-flat spoke design)
Not the biggest fan of wheels that are opposite left to right... if you catch my drift. Last edited by Entropy; 08-10-2012 at 03:35 AM. |

I think black centre caps and red lug nuts would break up all that silver in the middle of the wheel and make them look really good.

So, front and rear rims are the same 8.5" width, but different width (225 vs 245) tires? If so, could you get away with running the 245 tire on the front too? That looks good though. Might just make me consider the 19" wheel, then a turbo to help offset the additional rotational inertia!

But, 245 to the front is overkill. Your steering will be heavier. I saw other members here running 245 to the front so it is possible for you to do it also but not for me. My father's Ferrari 360 modena is a very big car much bigger heavier than the FR-S and it comes with 215 to the front and 275 to the rear to give you an idea. |
