Question !!need your vote!!

Need your opinions Clublexus faithful. I am trying to decide whether or not to keep my 19" Wed Kranzes or put the 18" Forgestar F14's that were on the car when I bought it. Gerrb has the 18" Forgestar's on his Red Mamba 2 right now, but is looking to put some Mickey Thompsons wheel/tires for extreme HP application. I am having a hard time choosing the Forgestars or keeping my Wed Kranzes. Take a look at the pictures and tell me which one you like best. I see a lot of black on black (murdered out) cars these days and it looks nice and mean, but the chrome looks very clean and the chrome really pops with the black. Give me your opinions!

Forgestars look mean, like they belong at the drag strip. If you're looking for muscle, use the forgestars.

I think the chrome looks good, but your car needs a better drop. If the wheel gap was closer, I think the chrome ones are better. The black ones are sweet, but there are too many all blacked ones out there. In the end, either of them does look good. Choice is yours.

He said his engine wasn't inside the car, thats why the wheel gap is so massive in the front.

Contrast (IMO) is the only way to go when it comes to rims, on vehicles.

I really dislike black wheels (especially on black cars, I think black cars need a good balance of black and silver), so I'd say keep the Weds

I'm with Teal on this one. The murdered out look has gotten way too much play... Usually with Dodge Chargers and the Chrysler 300C.

That being said, I do like a completely murdered out car- but that means black all the way around. Tint, headlights, tails, fogs, the whole gamut. most states would give you all kinds of crap for doing that to your headlights and tails (anyone remember those GTS taillight covers?)

In the end, I'd have a thing for the bling. One Rabbits opinion, anyway.

I prefer 18's and do like the forgestars, but i would have to go with the Weds.

Probably stating the obvious, but hope you get some good tires that grip and put power to the ground.


btw --you may want to put up a poll
