what looks better, my current wheels or these?

So long story short, I have been discussing in another thread if I should change to smaller wheels for autocross. I might end up selling my wheels but I wanted your opinion based on looks what wheel looks better.

so on a scale of 1-10 what would you rate my current wheels vs 18" forgestar F14 wheels.

I appreciate everyones help.

they both look good, but i know you want some weight savings too and the 18" F14's are pretty d@mn light, 18x8.5 = 17.7lbs and 18x12 = 20lbs. i have 19" F14s and love them. Forgestar's local in SoCal too, so you can contact them directly for better deals. tell Peter you know my car.

I like the old ones. Still a sucker for a phat lip in the rear.

dude, big rims are for cruising, 18- are for speed, whatever blows your hair back is what you should go wtih, (just make sure they stick out a little past the fender) both sets of rims are pretty sick... nice ride!

thanks for the comments. Now I am more torn than before. lol I honestly love my current wheels. They are gorgeous in person. The F14s look good too but I am not sure if they will look good in 18" on my car. But the weight savings will be a lot. Well I guess i will just sleep on it for a few weeks and then decide.

keep the comments coming.

He posted a set of $1300 a set wheels and you show him wheels that are $1300 each?



If you want beater wheels for autocross then buy 350Z track wheels and keep your current wheels.

350 track wheels are a good idea. Even xxr's are reasonable!
