Default Do you think this looks good(wheels on my car)?

I am selling my M3 which has 17" Fikse FM5 wheels. I thought about it and I decided that these wheels would look pretty good on the stook. I did a little photoshopping and here is what I came up with. Do you think they look good? Also, will they fit? The wheels are 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear and the tires are 225/45-17 in the front and 245/40-17 in the rear.

On the M3


On the stook


Thanks,
-Brandon

I think it looks great, don't know if it will fit, others will know. Your red looks phenomenal in that photo. Doesn't look like the actual red.

As far as the red goes...it is because of the sun. It just hit it at a certain angle(barely touching it) to give it that dark color. I will be putting the wheels actually on the car tomorrow and will take real pictures.

Mjcohen....OT, are you related to any of the Cohen's in Tulsa, OK. I am also Jewish and there are some Cohen's that are members of my Synagouge.

Thanks guys,

brandonb,

They look pretty good, but I don't think they will fit the S2000.

I know someone on this board who would be interested in buying the wheels if you were planning to sell them...

Dig out your wheel receipt and if the front offset is 52 and the rear offset 59, you're in business.

True, looks like a really dark red

As for the wheels, they look straight



I believe that is the actual red. I have a red one as well. I have noticed that in shadows and as it gets darker, the red takes on almost a 'burgundy' red look.....very deep and beautiful.
