Which wheels for White Five Axis FR-S?
 
I am given a choice between a few different wheels and I have narrowed it down to 2 wheels and 2 colors. S5:F and R5:F.

This link shows the Five Axis car in a gunmetal wheel, which looks alright.

I am trying to choose between the S5:F wheel and the R5:F wheel in gunmetal or normal silver. Which the wheels can be found here but I have no idea how they'll look on a white FR-S.

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm blindly leaning towards either the silver R5:F or the gunmetal or silver S5:F. But like I said I have no idea what they look like in real life. So it's hard to tell. Opinions? :thumbsup:

I'm a big fan of the gun metal. Just remember though that you are the one that has to look at it everyday and be happy with the look.

Yeah and I wish there were real world pictures but I've Googled it like 100 times. I am also a huge fan of gunmetal. I wanted the S5:F's on my 370Z in gunmetal, but it was black. I have no idea how gunmetal or silver will look on a white FR-S.

gunmetal looks great on white and it's low maintenance

This helps.

What about the S5:F versus the R5:F?

18" Enkei RPF01's in black

My only concern of going with 5axis is running into FR-S owners down the road with a similar set up. What's the price on those?

I'm thinking of going with a Forgestar set up after Install an exhaust kit setup

I'm getting a S7:F for my Argento but haven't decided on gunmetal or silver as for S5:F vs R5:F ... R5:F looks beefier depends on your taste

Synack 07-12-2012 12:56 PM

Hard decisions lol. And Neekowah, it can't honestly be that bad. The price of the regular FR-S is like 26k and the Five Axis edition is like 32k. I can't see many people paying that much for just a body kit and wheels. I assume that it would be similar to seeing a Nismo 370Z but half the chance. Especially with the power deficit. You could easily buy a new 370 or a used Nismo for the Five Axis edition.

If you already have your FRS, the wheels are half gunmetal/ half chrome

I personally prefer dark wheels white color car, because I like high contrast unless its a dark color car, I like it all dark

Look around the photoshop threads and maybe you can find a render of what you may want. I think there is a chop of a white one with the 5 spoke Five Axis wheels in gunmetal

I tried avoiding buying the car at all costs with the stock wheels. Although when I do go pick it up, I'm going to ask them to give me the stock wheels so I can sell them.

I just talked to the dealer and I'm getting the S5:F in gunmetal with staggered stance. So 8.5's in front and 9.5's in rear. Ballin!!!!!!!
