The first rims Warren! There is something not quite right about the second rims with those graphics!

Thumbs down

Neither one! You're killing the "gotcha" factor that the car otherwise has!

Whew. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks neither wheel is working on this particular car.

Stock rims are too small-sadly Fujimi doesn't do proper rim sizes on stock models any more. The others just don't fit the character. Just because they're big, doesn't mean they're better...or the best. I'm sure you have something that will work. 5 spokes are probably the way to go.

Found some pics...

The car that's got the same scheme as yours is white and has black wheels, then I also found a different yellow car, and it's got red wheels...

So was that car supposed to be yellow, or have a different yellow partner, or did Fujimi screw up again?






And here's another pic of the different yellow car with black wheels:


Paint the first wheel set black! :coolguy:

agreed! i think Fujimi did screw up a bit. they simply mixed up which decal package goes with which color scheme. it doesn't really matter in the long run.

Thumbs up Both of those are a big improvement

They both suit the shape of the car better than the other rims. I'm not wild about black rims, but on a race car they do have purpose. I'd probably choose the 5 spoke rims.

To me the six spokes win hands down.

I agree about them not being black! Dark silver would be much better, kinda like the Skylines we did!

Either one, although the five spokers look a wee bit dated IMHO.
