FTO AUSTRALIA

Okay was lookin at new rims at Bob Janes the other day... the manager said did i like the rims on his Type R....
I thought... mmmm they look akay.... he'd done 800Kms on them.. 2 weeks worth... $1500 including Falken Tyres....
They are 215/30/18

I think the grey spokes or whatever will go well with my CF bonnet



Please tell me what your honest opinion is....

Ok honestly, my opinion - I can see how you might like them, but they're just not my style.

I like the more simple and stylish concept, like 5 spoke Gunmetal grey on the inside, and the circular rim surrounding it being silver, not a big fan of the whole thin multiple spoke thing, but that's my opinion.

Buy what you like

im similar, not a fan of a lot of spokes etc but honestly i think these look the fit. depends on your set-up etc but i like what u got going there. I just got my rims the other day and was really "oh god what have i done" for a couple of days but now im liking them lots. give it some time u will adjust and the post purchase dissonance will go

i also got a similar deal from good ol' bob

Im not sure if I like them or not, becuase of the colour difference it looks like you've got spinners.

love em but not $1,500 worth of love...
...you should try to screw him down on price

$1,500 is too much for wheels that you're undecided on

Oh my. I hate spinners.

Theyre different, not my cup of tea but

One thing but, they dont seem to have much rubber on em, you could get 225/35 on an 18 easy (no scrubbing) be a little more comoftable thats all

$1500 sounded good to me..... The rubber he said was worth near $400 each.... and i think theyre growing on me... the 18s look awesome over my 17s...

definitely a good price.. as for looks i gotta agree with sublime.. im sure a lot of people would like em but not my taste

but its wether or not u like em that matters!

yeah not cool. wait and find some better ones..

not my style too but at lease it's more unique which is what i like

Don't like them personally, prefer the look of a lot of the drift wheels etc.

yeah i kinda agree with everyone man those rims dont do the fto justice. they look real small for 18's too

lol i think all of us just sh*t on his parade from the negative feedback!
i feel slack but we helped him make the "right" decision

I quite like them - like the dish look too Give us a good pic side on in the daytime.

theyre not too bad think they they would look kool as you slow down and theyre still in motion

They look a bit weird......

I wonder what they'd look like if you got gold rotors and paint the brake calipers?

paint the back spokes black, like the RX8 rims? (cant remember if the ones i saw on a RX8 were stock or not)... so it looks like u only have a few very thin spokes, unless u look closely.. that's my 2c worth anyway

I agree, if you're undecided on them they're probably not right for ya, cruise through the forums and check out what other people have, or jump on a few wheels sites www.ozzytyres.com.au - good for looking at whats out there (though i wouldn't recommend them personally - long story short, they tried to sell me dodgy silverstone tyres when i ordered Nankang's and did a dodgy job of fitting them which cost me a couple hundred dollars to fix - and i also heard afterwards that they had "allegedly" been going around to customers houses and nicking back the wheels after they'd bought them - so I would also recommend that you get some locking nuts with any mags you get, just in case)
