So I'm in the market for some wheel upgrades and I've decided on 18" as they are bigger than stock but not too over the top. I think I've narrowed down my search to 2 sets of wheels and was lookin for some feedback from you guys on what you think would look best. Like the title says, I have a Flint Mica tC with a little red and flint mica theme on the interior with thoughts of going 2 tone on the exterior with red and flint mica as well. I'm worried that the red 2 tone exterior would be a little overbearing which is why I thought leaving paint job as is and getting red rims would be a more subtle compromise. I don't want the ride to be too flashy but enough of my rambling. Please give me some feedback or thoughts on these 2 sets of wheels. Thanks!

Advan Super Racing V2 - In RED


Arospeed RS-GT - In GUNMETAL

 

Arospeed RS-GT - In GUNMETAL

 

IMO...the dark gun metallic Advans would look sick on a FM

 

Arospeed RS-GT - In GUNMETAL

 

sorry not really feeling the others I would go with Arospeed RS-GT - In GUNMETAL , but get what YOU like

 

Thanks for all your opinions. Just found these too. They look pretty interesting with an interchangable lip, red, blue, and silver.

Axis TC Evo in Graphite


More thoughts?

 

well if you had some pics of this "little red" you are talking about for the theme your going with, it would be easier. On the 2 red wheels you showed both are different in color. If you want things to flow, you dont want a bright red rim if your red is darker.

 

The red matches the red on the last set of rims. It's basically the red color of the RS1. I think the red in the first set of rims looks darker in the picture, because I was told it's pretty bright red in person.

 

If the reds match then I think the Axis with the red on them would look best over the full red wheel. Maybe with a red caliper to match as well?
I dunno Im just not sure about FM and red ...... lol its your tC, best of luck on your decision.

 

i love advans, but i think the axis rims you picked would look better with gunmetal and red lip...

 

I like the Dark Gun Metallic Advans. How much do those run for 18's?

 

super advans..... 680- 700 plus per rim, that is through autoRnd......depends on where and who you get them from, and that is not usually include shipping

2700-2800 per set.

 

Yeah I thought I was a stud and found a price of $717 for a set of 4, but low and behold, it was $717 each. That basically knocks them out of the running, but they're nice to look at. Maybe next time I won't shop for wheels while on medication.

Anywyas, I'm tryin gto Photoshop the Axis wheels with the red lip on a Flint Mica so we'll see how that goes. If anyone has some Photoshop skills, be my guest to mock it up. I'd love to see how it looks.
