Foose wheels anyone?
I was thinking of putting 18x8.5 Foose Nitrous Gray wheels on, I was wondering if anyone has put Foose wheels on there 8?
Here is a pic of the wheel I was wanting to put on my Titanium Gray, what does everyone think of this one on a Titanium 8? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks in advance for the ideas.

i think they look too much like the 5spoke muscle car rims and the 8 is definately not a musclecar. but hey, its your car, its your dream, if you like em, buy em.

What size are they? do you know the size spacers for the off set?

Foose wheels are pretty pimp, and though they may look heavy they are forged billett so the weight is not what you'd expect from looking at them, I'd love to have a set myself but it's too much $$ and it's too hard to keep polished aluminum wheels clean compared to chrome or other finishes. I had a set of Budniks before and it would take me hours to get those wheels show ready.

Like I said, they were on the car when I bought it. I get many compliments on them. If you are looking strictly at perfomance (light weight) then go with something else.

I like those but I just wished they come in gray like the nitrous do. That is the main reason for wanting those.
I am not looking for performance just looks.

i think chip should stick to modifying cars, not designing wheels.

So I went to a local TEIN Dealer told him about my 20's coming in and he said that I will have fitament issues and that I will be rubbing if I install the S-Tech's (I bought them off EBAY Just needed them to install) I told them not to worry due to all the people who were running the same set up as me. He called the other shop morons for selling the wheels to me.
Don't you guys just love how two shops just have to flame each other regardless of the reasons?

Personally, i'm not a big fan of those, but people don't like mine either. Just depends on the person I guess. If you like them then get em, don't let other people make the decision for you.
