Hi everyone would like to get your opinions on what wheels would look best on my Grabber Blue GT
BTW i have 18" FR500 on the car now

Going for 20" Black Wheels and have narrowed it down to two choices

20x8.5 Black FR500 Front
20X10 Black FR500 Rear

or the same dimensions with a concave look Black

Thanks for your opinions

I know it's hard to do with a staggered setup, but I can't stand those wheel combos where the lip is smaller on the front than the back. Works on a race car, but looks stupid on a street car. Just my .02 cents.
Can't agree there at all. Works on race cars and street cars just the same.

If you're going to go with black wheels it really doesn't matter what they look like, because from 20 feet away they all look the same anyway.

(Hey ... you asked for opinions ... :p)

I used to think that too, but black wheels have grown on me. I would prefer if they made a dark grey though.

Sometimes you just don't know what looks good till you see it. My buddy has a red Vette with gold wheels, looks sick. But then again, all classic Ferrari race cars were red with gold wheels too...

Bad use of phrasing on my part. By "works" I meant the looks. Different size lips don't work for me.
I knew what you meant. :)

I happen to think a bigger lip looks great, race car or street car. I think most would agree, hence why companies try to put the biggest lip then can on there.

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice. Both are hot.

I have deep dish black bullitts on my car (avatar needs to be updated) with the same big lip front and back, and I think they would look better with a smaller lip on front.

To the OP, I have to agree with an earlier comment, if they are all black they all look pretty much the same from 20 feet or more. My personal opinion is they need at least some silver or contrasting color to separate the wheels from the tires and make them "pop" more. Up close I think either of your picks would look great.

Thanks but i'm going for that blacked out look

hate having the black underside of the car without the black wheels
