guys need your opinion on these wheels, they would be 19" it would be going on a ebony f-type.

share if you think it would look good, picture is of the car with the base wheels lol feel free to Photoshop if anyone is bored

 

If it were me Id paint them black

 

oh yeah for sure I am not decided on color but the style of the wheel itself is what i might not be sure about

 

If it were me, I'd only paint the spokes and inner barrel black (leaving a polished ring).

 

I like the wheels though if I was going to the expense of aftermarket wheels, I'd go 20" myself.

thought about it and idk if I want the ride quality to suffer that much.. right now on the base wheels which are 18" the tire profile is 40 and im loving how well it absorbs bumps.

 

Fair enough; mine rides nicely with 20's but I've heard that the base is stiffer than the S/R with dynamic mode off.

I have 20's, an H&R 1.3" lowered suspension and always drive in Dynamic mode. Still a very comfortable ride.

 

Sharp looking tires. Maybe 19 is a good compromise - mine ride very comfortably and have weathered some bad potholes

 

I suggest going to carid.com website and select wheels and manufacturer Niche. They have a wheel that looks similar (what mfr. is your wheel?). They have a configurator you can select and put in your info for f type. Select your car color and try the different wheels. See if the link below works for you.

P.S. There are other similar configurators out there on other wheel seller sites.

 

19's look too small. I have 20's and am tempted to go to 21's if I had money to burn.




The design looks nice, satin black looks meaner and looks cleaner when covered in brake dust.
I also think they would be a bugger to clean.

 

yeah I've seen this picture so many times I love this setup

 

but of course we can all agree 20s or even 21s look much better with our cars I mean it just fits the belt line and profile better but ride comfort wise I am on a base car so even thought right now I wouldn't say it's that stiff (mind you I am coming from a lowered bmw 335 on coilovers) I still would say i rather just compromise and get 19s and maybe those h&r springs you mentioned. do you happen to have a picture of your car btw?

 

 

Yeah that color works.

 

What color are your rims powered coated?

 

They look like the original dark grey Gyrodyne diamond turned.

 

+1. with matching colored brake dust.

 

Just the way mine looks most of the time

 

Once you go 20s you never go back!

The ride is just right with 20s and HR lowering imo. Having driven BMW M cars for the past few years, this setup is a breeze in comparison. But I agree, that I would eventually move to 21s. Only problem is tire size availability. This car needs at least 305s. 315s preferably.
