Ok, what do you guys think the best color wheels are for an SSM Type-S? Specifically, I'm looking at getting a set of 5Zigen FN01R-C in 17x8 et43, which color do you tihnk would be best?

honestly, coming from a SSM owner.
iv had silver, gloss black, bronze, and red wheels. iv switched back and forth.
so my opinion from all the looks that iv had, and all of the comments from other people is that on a SSM silver looks great, and so does black. bronze is not bad. but red is cool looking but very flashy.
i have yet to try gunmetal on my car, but im sure it will look nice.
as of right now i have silver 18's on my ssm and i love the clean look it gives.

i would go with flat black, like rota slipstream.
or gold. no polish lip plz.. I think they look ugly on SSM.
you know what? actually all of the polish lip on rsx looks ugly..
I dont know why.... just on RSX... not flowing...

im facing the same issue... i'm thinking either the fn01rc's or the tenzo gt5's...
i can't decided if i want to do the black or not. i already understand where teambc is coming from, but what is everyone else's opinion on the black with a polished lip on the ssm?

06-09-2006, 12:54 AM
imo, silver on silver looks best. i'd stay away from the flashier colors like gold, bronze, etc...

I think gunmetal will look awesome on SSM. Its just a tad darker than the car but not completely blacked out. I am not a fan of black wheel cuz its hard to see the details on the rims.

from the looks of it, looks pretty even between the choices (silver, black, gunmetal, polished lips, etc...)
I also have a 05 SSM and can't decide!
Id prefer silver to look clean, but black with chrome lip is so badass!
Im thinking of something like this:

OMG im sorry, but that is the nastiest color on SSM i have ever seen.
You have bronze which doesnt go with silver, but not only that, you have a black hood, and a red H. OMG thats fucking nasty. PLEASE nobody else do this to your car.
Sorry man. :dontknow: :nervous:

I like these BRIG wheels though. They look good, and i think they would look nice on SSM.
MAG-10 / $1200 for the 17's and $1399 for the 18's
http://dnaracing.net/catalog/images/brig_mag10.jpg
MAG-5 / Same price as above
http://dnaracing.net/catalog/images/brig_mag5_lg.jpg
They are LIGHT, only 14 lbs for the 17" and only 18 lbs for the 18"
And on top of that, they are forged.
Here is a good site for them: http://dnaracing.net/catalog/index.php?cPath=161_162

Not the greatest pictures. Well the first two that OrangeStunner took are better than the 3rd one I took. But, You get the idea.

dont go bronze or gold in my opinion worst choice besides white. gunmetal polished or unpolished, hyperblack, black, or silver like the A-spec wheels are the best choices.

I painted my stockies semi-gloss black recently after meeting up with a crsx member, and seeing his. I think it looks pretty aggressive on SSM. Of course im still keeping my 05-S wheels. I love them too much.
So imo silver, black, flat black, or hyperblack looks best on SSM.
