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.

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.

Hard to decide when they both look good.

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