What wheels are these

Love the wheels on this thing any clues people?? Also call me crazy but does the rear wheels look deep dish whilst the front ones are right on the dish.Looks quite effective i think!!!

(threw the last piccy in cause it looks sexy everything molded together like that)

I'm sorry, but just like GT Wings, deep dish rear wheels on a FWD car just look tacky.

Even more so when they don't dish the front wheels as well.

And my gawd, those altezzas....*shudder*.

That being said, I do spot that nice little suprise behind his front bar

if im not mistaken that car has an evo engine in it. owned by one of the pom's

FT-EVO is a different car to this one.....it has an EVO 5 styled carbon bonnet.

Plus that front bar is different to Mark's FTO.

However he may very well have changed it!

I quite like deep dish wheels - I just dont like full chrome wheels... too much 'pimp my fto' for my likings

i don't mind that setup, the front on the dish and rear deep dish reminds me of this model supra i have it has the same kinda setup

Have to agree with the rear deep dish look. I get it on RWD but the FTO is a FWD.

Still that's just my opinion

I too am not a fan of chrome wheels on a sports car. Chrome bling is for old school, muscle and luxury cars (of course and SUV's) and a sports car should have a lightweight racing wheel.

That's just my opinion of course, no offense to anyone.

And ooh yeah! I love dished wheels

guys, i dont think they are deep dish. i think its just the reflection on one of the spokes, causing an optical illusion...

Post by **vipfto** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 1:48 pm

yeah they are deep dish the white one rear is deep with different offset to fron one which has no dish and as above red one is dished

Robbie · Post by **Robbie** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 1:50 pm

ah... stupid bad eyes...

If you want that look youll need to find the appropriate rim, get it in a tough offset and chuck some spacers in. Then youll need some wheelarch work and flaring. Other wise youll have a dished wheel which sits inside the body = FAIL

Look nice, I've seen a few cars with deep dish at the back and not at the front and it looks nice, I don't mind it at all. Actually I'd prefer it that way.

Yea, the chrome really ruins it but those are just standard 5 spoke rims, you should be able to find a few very similar to that.

i love that white fto. But with the stock fto, you'd have to get uber thin wheels with a really low offset to get the DEEP dish look. Either that or a style similar to ''alekezam'' where the spokes go inwards.

I've read on another thread that some owners have accomplished at least 10cm of dish on a 8' wide rim which isnt bad considering they are +35 offset. To get more dish i reckon if you get your guards proffesionally rolled and flared you can go 9' wide on the rear.
