BRONZE wheels on a Silver NB! WideOpen vs FlatOut

[RabiaEx]

Hey, guys. First post here.. I'm liking it better over here, probably because of the lack of trolls and asses. Anyway, next week I'll be ordering wheels for my silver NB and I'm absolutely torn between this choice...
My car is on coilovers

Konig FlatOut.. I haven't found a pic of these on a silver NB

Im so confused by the thread and title.

[tsingson]

Are you asking if anyone has a pic of these on an NB?

[morr]

Either one would look good, but I vote for the WideOpen just because they remind me of RPF1's.

edit: here's an NB on silver flatouts that someone could photoshop bronze. I'm too lazy right now.

Sorry. I'm asking which of these two wheels would look better on a silver NB.

Thanks. I was leaning towards the WideOpens for the past week or so but then I look at the FlatOuts.. I really like how the WideOpens only has the 4x100 pattern, also.

I think the Blue Flatouts would looks great on a silver NB-the bronze ones I'm not sure. I have Konig Lightspeeds and the bronze is very dark-almost a dark brown.

I like wideopens more

[Muti007]

Ahh, I see now. I far prefer the Konigs then. IMO a much better looking wheel overall. Im probably letting my age show here but I couldnt tolerate blue wheels on any car though as someone suggested. To me, wheels are either silver, polished, black or a combination of the 3. Bronze I can just tolerate and in some applications they look pretty good, but thats about as far from convention I can go as theyre still within the boundaries of acceptable precedent. Any actual "color" doesnt belong on wheels, lug nuts, nothing. To be clear, this is of course just my opinion. To be clearer, everyone should always go by my opinion because my taste is impeccable in all things :)

A user by the name of 'scsi' on CR was running them for a while.

Something about ravs and forged on the flatout turns me off

[tsingson]

I like the polished flat out ones but I also like the wide open style. Either one will be a good choice. Which has a better price? Maybe that can help solve this problem.

I'm in the same boat, I wish the wideopen came in a full polish. The flatouts are a few bucks cheaper per wheel tho.

Well maybe weight can help make a decision also....I'll be looking at new wheels at the end of the year when I put the car down. So I need to make a decision.

Same here. And how it has both lug patterns. Four only, like the WideOpens, seemsmore proper and clean.

Thiss. Fully polished FlatOuts would look very very good. But, I've made a decision, guys.. I'm going with the Bronze WideOpens. They just look very good in my opinion and if worse comes to worst I'll trade them or sell them after I wear out the tires..

[tsingson]

You couldn't go wrong with either choice man. I'm glad that you came up to a decision. I'm still debating.

[RabiaEx]

Thanks, man. Its just a hard decision.. The FlatOuts have the weight advantage but the WideOpens look better IMO.. Idk. But, I odered the WideOpens and they should be here by Thursday yeee

[tsingson]

Get pics up as soon as you get them on....

I went Autocrossing last night with this set up. Bad idea.. Car is too low and messed up(reverse fender roll'd) my right front fender after I spun out. :( Fender roll for the front and an adjustment of the coilovers is on the list.

[tsingson]

Wheels look good man! I am nowhere near a decision on which wheels I want to get.

[atlnb]

good choice

[Boris]

What size did you get ?

Aw, I thought this was gonna help you decide and buy the WideOpens haha. But thanks!

Thanks. Was really not sure if I was going to end up liking them or not. I love them lol


What size did you get ?

15x8 +25

Miguel. Your car looks very good. Made the right decision there. Bronze on Silver looks nice. You should have called me when you got them on. I know Ed won't. :/ Can't wait to see them in person.

Thanks, man. Haven't really thought about showing it off much because I'm still deciding on a ride height and I think I just nailed it today. I don't have your number; I'll PM you mine. Ed's phone is a piece of shit and is always dying regardless.
