Default Best Looking Wheels

Not knowing much about wheels(rims) i was wondering what ones would look best on a black/black 951. When i get mine I would like it to be black/black, and I no that nice wheels could make the car look ugly or pimpin. I think that polished shiney wheels look the best, but what are the different types/price range? Any pics of ur cars with the wheels would be cool 2!

First, a 951 is NEVER pimpin', second, why worry about it now, you still got a year. Otherwise, I love Fikse's, BBS seems to make some nice ones as well. But those are pretty racey rims for the most part.

My choices would be Fuchs, BBS LMs, and Fikse FM/10s(?).

The guy on here with that red 951 with FM/10s has it going on.

I like Samis rims too.

Whatever you get, get the best rimjob you can.

I think a black 951 would look cool with a set of gloss black C2's on it..................

Ive never been a huge fan of totally black rims. its like you cant se the rim or its a tire without a rim. i need a lip or something. id like to see a photo of black c2s though in case i change my mind.

nice rims pete. you should get a set.

Perry 951 has ATP Riva wheels. Very Nice. Here's a pic of my car trying on his wheels.

UDP, I'm planning on the Kahn RS-R's.

Nickhance, the Sport Classic's look great. Especially on a white car. What size tires are you running?

18" Techart Formula GT black (very heavy, won't fit early offset w/out spacers)


or the 17" BBS LM (light, can be ordered for early offset)

i got those LMs on the 930. I like em but I like the FM/10s a little better. To most people they wouldnt be able to tell the difference probably. Im glad the PO bought them though as Im not sure I could bring myself to spend that much on rims when the Fuchs were fine to begin with. I think they would look great on a 951 (espec. red).

Im not sure about those Techarts. I need to see them on a car.

Pete, did you dust off the Flying V guitar and return to the stage for some extra cash flow? If you want the splitter, 968 mirrors, SFR, new paint, and rims, you are leaving no stone unturned brother!! I salute you!!
