it would be at least a 9" due to the spokes. looks a little small to be a 18 tho.

I like how the original pictures are from Forza, good stuff...

I'd personally go with Silver, keep it classy. I think maybe if you blacked out other stuff on the car, then maybe you should go with black.

Forza and GT5 are so great for mocking up car ideas.

Wish they had more Volk/Rays and Work wheel options through.

The specs on the red one are17x9 +35 that's the biggest size in 5x100 other than 18x8" +35. I just picked up a set of 18x9.5 that were pre ordered through a group buy.

You can never go wrong with silver rpf. I thought enkei makes them in hyper blackish color now? At least for nto3m i know they do.

Cheers mate.

The 17's actually look bigger than they actually are on that car.

It's only because its on spring so there's still a wheel gap that makes them look bigger than 17 but smaller than 18's

Same size as these 17x9 +35

Easily silver. I have to say I do not understand the fascination with black rims. They do nothing for the esthetics of the car. In canada, by neccessity, we put winter tires on our vehicles. This usually means getting black steel rims with the tires. Not once in my 46 years has this made any car look better. Even on these boards I have been seeing many people spending good coin on black rims which in my humble opinion do nothing to aid to the beauty of the car. I find they actually make it more plain in appearance. Am I alone in this thinking? Anyway choose what you want but since you asked Silver is the way to go. More proof just checkout the firestorm pictures with the machined silver rims from Klutch. Beautiful!!!!!

black can definitely look good but depends on the body color and the light conditions.

IMHO they work well on lighter colors for contrast.

On red I don't think they look great without accents.

for the purposes of this thread I vote silver

I would be really interested in a set of 17x10 +18 in SBC or Silver.

It depends on the offset and width. The 19x10 looks the most concave of the bunch. The width definitely has to be 9'-10" inch wide to be concave. 8.5" or less is convex.


18x9.5 +15



19x10 +22


17x9 +35


18x9 +35



18x8.5 +30

^ Thanks for the pics! Like you said, you can easily see the concave on the 19x10 but I just don't see it on the 18x10.5

18x10.5 +15


18x10.5 +15



A group buy for RPF1 either in 17x10 +18 or 18x10.5 +15 would be awesome as long as we can get 10 people interested and willing to wait a few months
