Default New Wheels Help

Hey,

was hoping some of you guys might be able to help me. You have been very helpful so far with some of my quesitons lol..

but yeah, looking to purchase new wheels on my RC. Most of the ones I have seen here are RWD. Mine is AWD, so not sure with the setup i should go for. I really LOVE Pirelli's current setup. I'm going for a more of a concave set of wheels.

Thanks,

I know your car is USB, do you want to go with black / grey or silver wheels? Do you want 19s or 20s ? If you want the wheels to be more concave than you have to go with 20s. The setup I have is about as concave as you can go with 19s.

If you want my opinion I would go with blue / black combo. It would look great with the USB because the paint is a dark shade of blue so the black will accent it nicely.

Also, are you thinking about lowering your RC ? I highly suggest that you do.

I wanted to go for Black Wheels, similar to the Rohana's RC22. I was thinking 19's.

As of now, I don't have plans maybe until next summer to lower it.

Getting Wheels and the roof wrapped in black is perhaps something i want to get done this summer.

and you're on coils right?

I love my 19's Niche Essen M147 wheels. I would also look at some black Forgestar F14's or CF10's both in deep concave.

I think these type of wheels would look nice on your car, of course it would look MUCH better with a drop. Also, you can get them concave.
