Default Foose Nitrous Wheel Opinions Wanted

Ok folks, I have a birthday coming up and I am talking my wife into custom rims. I have made my selection: Foose Nitrous Rims!! My wife always tells me that black and dark blue dont really look good together!! My question: Whick DO YOU ALL think would look the best with a Vista Blue GT?? Any and all opinions wanted. Thanks all!!

Joel

18" chrome, because I love the look of my car so much with my 18" chrome bullitts.

depends, 20s will def makea difference in rwhp due to rotational mass, and coming from a guy with 20s you5 1can tell a huge difference between the stock 17s and aftermarket 20s. Even though each wheel that I got was only 5 lbs heavier a wheel( minus tire) I can still tell I lost alot. so if you do all ur driving on reg roads, maybe go 18s...unless speed isnt an issue, or if you go to the track then just get some DRs anyway the foose nitrous are heavy, but do look awesome. good luck

chrome on the blue will look great.... I'd stick with the 18"s for the RWHP issue mentioned above.

If youre going to do something, go all the way with what makes you happy, not others. It is important to get others views, but the ultimate decision is yours. IMO 20's look the best, though you lose a bit of drivability (have to me a bit more careful, more in some parts of the country). If you decide black Foose, be careful, because I heard they were having problems with the paint flaking or chipping. Make sure you get them from a reputable place so you have some recourse. Again, if you ask me, 20 Grey with 295's in rear.

The Fooses don't look right in 18's so if your not going 20" I go with a different wheel, so 20" Chrome get my vote.

I'd go with the 20's in chrome, if you are worried about performance loss, you need to figure out how much the Foose wheel and tire combination weigh. I have 20's that weigh about the same as the stock 17" bullets and cannot tell any difference in performance. Believe it or not but the 20" wheel and tire has less diameter than the 17's by almost a half inch, going from a 55 sidewall to 35.

I have the Nitrous in silver and I would not choose any other wheel! I looked at the black andthe chrome and the black is kinda hard to see all the details...and the chrome is just way too much. I picked silver becuase it was a little more elegant in my opinion.

Mine are 20's. As stated above they look funny in 18's. You'll hear a lot of people tell you about giving up ride quality and speed....but I can hardly notice a difference in the ride and my car still feels fast as hell.

Gotta agree with Dave and also keep in mind you add serious weight to each wheel when its triple chrome plated.
