Best looking rims on a Raven FRS?

Just interested in your guys opinions on the best looking rims for a raven FRS, I'm looking at XXR 527 18" gold or XXR 521 18" hyper silver, What do you guys think?

The best rims are the ones you end up buying. It all falls on what you like, not what we tell you to like.

This is completely subjective so it comes down to a mix of what you like visually, what will fit your goals, and what you can afford. Personally I think the GramLight 57Xtremes are the most stunning wheel out there for our car. I just think the pricepoint of near 2 grand is a bit much for such a heavy wheel. Go with something you can look at everyday. In the process of getting black RPF1 for my car and I go back and forth almost daily if I want to go through with it as its not the prettiest wheel out there. But its a good price and its light weight.

I like the look of 19s for now. Later down the road WHEN I turbo this car, I'll probably go with 17s. My favorite right now are stance SC6.

I just not a fan of stance wheels after my friends said that the car isn't big enough for the wheel. I totally agree with him saying that. Stance are amazing on g36 and g37 but frs no.

19x9.5 will fit fine. It'll just slow down the car a bit. Not like the FRS is fast anyway lol.

I don't know many people who dislike the 57Xtremes. IMO, it's the wheel that should've come with our cars.

I think the 57xtremes look great, but so many people have them. I like to be unique.

F*k 19s.

This topic is pure opinion. Everybody is gonna have differet taste. If the wheel design looks good and fits well, then it's good. Just pick something you like. My only suggestion is stay away from black wheels. Black on black with this car is just crap imo-but I've seen threads on here and others agree.

Gold, bronze, silver, and in some cases, white. Those are the best color wheels for a black car imo.

I went with 17" gold wheels/red lugs on my black frs. Couldnt be happier.

Go with the 527's. They are cheap and easy to replace and also easy to get rid of when you purchase new shoes. Can't walk away from the price XXR gives out
