considering wheels


i am considering on buying a set of wheels, not sure if i want to spend money on the looks of the car. i am trying to choose between a set of summit racing big and littles (use stock wheels for DD), the anthracite 17x9/17x10.5 fr500's, or the anthracite wheel max 962's 17x7/17x9. i really dont want a 10.5 just for the price of 315's, but really dont care for the multi bolt on the wheel max. like to have the big and littles for the track. what do you think?


in case you did know what they were, these are the wheel max 962:

If you are keeping the stockers for daily driving get a set of Steeda ulta lites for the track.

I'd go big and littles. Stockers look good enough for DD and the new wheels would be more use at the track.

These aren't 18" and that's pretty damn low price to. Even comes with tires. Pefect lite wheels for the track.

those are some nice rims, but i am looking into a gun metal/ anthracite color. i personally dont like black wheels, an i dont think chrome wheels are that great on silver cars. i am trying to get a darker color to help break the car up a little bit.

I didn't know you were going for style. You said track wheels so I tried to find the lightest track wheels that wouldn't break.

the big and littles for the track or the 962's or fr500's for a wheel replacement.

I was just about to click big and littles, then I looked at the link to those wheel max 962. Then I clicked the big and littles eleventybillion times.
I don't like the look of them at all.

I think the fr-500s are really nice wheels, but it's been overdone. Plus you're in AR, big and littles gets you mad props from the redneck community!

Then do the 962's. I'm not a big fan of the FR500s.

I do, but you don't like chrome on a silver car. Who knew? I been trying to convince my friend to get chrome Bullitts for his silver 2000 GT since he bought it. Personally I think they go great together.
