Wheels for my FD

**xenfacta** · 13-11-2007 07:14 PM

Hey all, looking to get one of three sets of wheels for my FD1.. not sure which ones i like better.... what do you guys think?
Tenzo DC6

Tenzo DC5

Tenzo GF7

EDIT: forgot to mention that the car is silver moss and im probably getting 17's (the extra rubber makes a difference on shitty sydney roads)

I prefer the Tenzo DC6

What colour FD you got? I personally don't like black wheels on a black car... but thats me.

How much are these? They look good! I'd take the GF7 for the FD. The DC5 looks more suited to a larger car like the Euro.

DC6 = very usual model
DC5 = too many similiar model like this
GF7 = i like this one. new trend (deep dish), chrome/silver lips and flat spoke surface in deep dish (curve spoke in deep dish -> not nice)

I think black with silver lip has been done a little too much. GF7 is the better of that lot though for an FD.

theyre $1200 with tyres from Tempe Tyres (kumhos last time i checked - we've got them on the euro and we're happy with them)

my concern about the dished look is that it will make the wheel look smaller. im worried that the 17s will look too small as it is. anyone else got 17s on their FD? do they look undersized?

100% right. usually looks 1 inch smaller. if u have 18" looks like 17". and so on.I compare mine with subaru liberty stock rims 18", subaru' looks bigger.
the right size for deep dish is 19" and up, but of course u know the consequences

i just saw a couple of pics of cars with them on, its not really a dish...more a lip

17s arent really small for the FD. The Civic Sport has 17s so it will look like that, I think it's just right if you're not trying to draw too much attention. But up to me I'd go 1 size bigger. I have 18s on mine with 225/40 tyres and the ride is acceptable.

Out of those I'd go DC6 but I'm not a fan of black rims. Gunmetal or brushed aluminium instead.

I personally like the DC5... I personally had a similar one for my FD (but in Bronze) with 225/45/17... didn't look undersized at all... but I had +38 offset so it stuck right out to the guards which also helped make it look bigger and give it a better stance.
