Photoshop Some Wheels - What do you think?

Just trying to get an idea of what will look good. So far people like the look of the wheels I have had in mind since I've been searching for wheels. However I am still considering other wheels so I shooped my top 3 picks. Please vote for which set looks best!

5zigen fn01r-c Black Polished Lip


5zigen GN+ or any other 6 spoke design such as gram lights, ssr type-c's, etc.


Kosei Racing K1 if I could find them bigger than 15"


I'm also debating whether I should get 16" or 17" wheels. I havent seen a lot of pictures of 16's on sedans

I have, but 18's are a little too big for me. Plus I'm not really into the whole hex head thingy designs and I'm not too sure about mesh on the sedan.

Thanks for the input so far guys!

I guess I would be the...CHEAP type! If it would come down to 2 wheels I'd go for the cheaper one

I voted for the first but the 1st and 2nd are equally nice. I think I would like the second even more if it was the darker color of that wheel. Looks good as it is though.


I personally am going to go with 17" I think they just fit the car better. As for those mesh wheels the only set I've seen and liked on a sedan is on Ton's sedan and that is my favorite sliverstreak sedan I've seen.

The GN+s also come in a hyperblack color. I've seen silver cars with hyperblack rims and it looked pretty good. I'll probably go 17" because these wheels are all pretty light around 15lb.

You need to add a voting option for "none of the above" or "other"

I like all three wheels, but I don't think any of them are the right look for the sedan. You can stay with a sporty wheel design but something with softer lines (less angular) which will flow better with the sedans curvy lines. The wheels above are too angular and have too many harsh/pointy edges which don't flow well.

If I had to choose from the options above, it would be GN+ for looks and K1 for price/performance ratio.

I've been searching for wheels for about a year now. Finding a good set of wheels that have a design I like, the right offset, decent weight, and price has proven to be pretty hard for me. I'm extremely picky too so that doesnt help much. I dunno, these were the only wheels I could find that fit my 'qualifications'.

If those were my only options, I'd go with #2, except I don't like the dual drilled application.

My preference would be a more Euro-Japanese look.
