Question Which wheels for the Altezza ??
Have your say on what wheels look best. I think the aftermarket ones in pic 2 look the best....or do you think i should keep the factory ones on it.
As you can see it;'s not to far away from being finished

I don't think Altezza's come from the factory with those wheels

But I like the first choice way better than the second

He's right but the AME's do a better job at filling those arches.

The factory wheels look more racy. The modelart wheels look way too VIP for a race car in my opinion

Refinish the 1st pic rims and use those! The 2nd pic wheels look more like part of an "ethnic-enhancement-package"!!

Dude,
I suggest you use neither of the two!
I think the rims that you weren't supposed to get w/ your Fujimi EvoVII (the 18" Enkei's) would look best here.

Paint them w/ metalizer silver or gun metal. Now we're talking.

as i said before, the real version of that race car has the 1st set on it, but they're painted black (TS-19). i would say to go with that. black wheels on a yellow car looks awesome, i would know (my C-West FD is chrome yellow with black Advan's). the second ones, although they may fill the arches better, are way too chromey and flashy and VIP for a real drift competition car and completely ruin the whole "look" going on with that car. so use the first wheels, painted TS-19.

It depends on what kind of look you want for the car.
Race = Stock
Show = Aftermarket.
