I've seen quite a few RD owners with black rims with a polished lip. I think these wheels look the best on all Tibs of all colors, but especially a black Tib like my own. I'm trying to decide on a wheel but hopefully this will help out other black Tib owners.

I was looking into Fastco "Nitro 1" wheels that were gunmetal with a polished lip, and I thought they looked hot but a lot of you are saying they wouldn't look good on an RD2 and I'm beginning to see why.

If any of you have any suggestions for a 17" wheel that's black/gunmetal with a polished lip, that'd look good on a 2k Tib feel free to post em up!!

The Konigs are niceeee.. but theyre not for me mang. I bet they weigh around 25 lbs as well, but good taste.

Yeah man, if you lowered your car you'd love your car even more wink1.gif

The Motegis are nicee but they're kinda plain looking.. plus weigh like 25 as well.

The ADRs are suhweet! 19lbs is roughly how much my Tantrums weigh.. maybe a little less? I was hoping for a lightweight wheel.

Ack.. I still like those Nitro 1 wheels and/or the Nitro 2's...

I would really like a forged wheel! Thats one of the main reasons I would get one of the FastCo Nitro's.. I think a 10-spoker would look hot on a 2k Tib...

But those ADR.. damn.

They weigh 19lbs. a piece, so not really a heavy wheel, but not a racing rim either.

The car will be dropped this friday, Ive been a little hesitant cuz of the nasty PA roads, but Im gonna.

Those FF7's are nice, I was considering them when i got mine. The only thing I dont like about them is the popularity issue. They are a very popular style rim that a lot of people have. Dont get me wrong, they look nice, but i personally like to find unique things. Thats just my opinion though.

The wheels I have on my car are the IKON GT5. I'm quite pleased with them.
