Hey guys,

I`ve got a white fd, and i`m thinking about a change in wheels. I`ve currently got some AXE AP 30 wheels, but i`d like some ideas on what would look good.

So if you have a white FD, can you post up some pics so I can see what looks best,

Thanks.

Oh and this is what I have at the moment,...

very nice, both those cars look really good, white fd\'s look aswesome :Thumbsup!

As above - I reckon 17\'s are jsut the righ size, unless you go for black with polished lips, when 18\'s may look better. Either way, 17\'s are purported to be better handling wise...

Anyways - 17\'s FTW!!

Lol :D One of the reasons it\'s now black :D

The white single piece ones are AVS VS5\'s, the splits are MazdaSpeed MS01s\'s :)
I\'ve got soem others to on on, but I need to find somewhere to make me some bigger dishes to change the 8.5\'s to something like 11\'s :D

White Rx\'s do look amazing!  Si yours looks rather tasty...but Neil\'s picture is fantastic!  Personally I don\'t like Bling wheels.
 
If you want big wheels...we are running 12J\'s this year :D

thanks for the pics guys.

I`m set on 18`s though...I have smalled wheels for track days etc, so the 18`s are only for road use and shows etc.

I dont really want to go with the Black wheels/Polished lip as that seems to be done to death.

I`m definately feeling the white on white though. Quite liking these too, Rota D1`s.

They are similar to the wheels DCUPS has on his AWESOME RX-7, but obviously they are white instead of bronze.

No mate they fit just fine with zero rubbing whatsoever.
 
However 18 x 9.5 on the front apparently rub a good amount and require further work.
