| They would probably look OK. Gold isn't an awful color for FM... IMO anyway. |

| 206's are so overdone. I just sold mine for this exact reason. Plus they are super light weight but if you hit a good pothole they are destroyed. |

my suggestion is wait till you can afford something that you will be proud of.
to hawgs, having lightweight wheels isn't what makes them weak, what makes wheels weak is their manufacturing process. all wheels posted in this thread are cast wheels which mean they are more brittle. This means that at a certain point the wheel will fracture much easier than if it was a forged wheel.
to the OP, look in threads here, there are TONS of wheels i can garantee you will find something in those threads but please wait. you're in FL so you can run nice wheels year round so make sure you're happy with them and don't settle with what you can afford right now. I hope this helps. |

| Yeah i understand what you mean, but i also dont want to spend a fortune on rims im sure there are some nice looking rims for an affordable price, just matter of finding them kinda hard to choose without seeing them in person. Anyone know of a good wheel place here in florida ? |

lol it depends on the budget. i'm a firm believer in waiting and saving for a quality product. i do it myself.
but more budget minded wheels would be the work emotion series or the ggames wheels or the gramlights both made by rays. |
