Amonite Gray - Rim Question?
Hello all
I have an Ammonite Gray F-Type R, and it is a beauty. I am thinking of the "cheapest" upgrade, rims for the car. I know this is in the eyes of the beholder, but would like some opinions on the following:
1. - Site where I could see the rims on the car (my color) and get a visualization.
2. - Anybody else make this change and to what end...."Pics please"
3. - Size of tires, i.e. front vs. back.....want the rim of course and the right size of tires.
4. - Thoughts on spacers....what have you done and the in's and out's of spacers.
Anything would help as I consider this. Not in a rush..., will make it my pre-spring project.
Thanks all, and have a great week.

Jag Brian's car below. The Gyrodynes powercoated look great. Costs less than $100/wheel. Of course powercoating can be any color you wish and is comparable or even exceeds the durability of eom wheel paint. The only downside is the hassle/transport to get it done.
A powercoated wheel if curbed - scratched/damaged - is a little easier to touch up and repair than oem painted also.
A month after powdercoating use Opti-Coat or another treatment to make it simple and easy to hose off brake dust and dirt. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Optimum-Glos...977213&vxp=mtr

At $2k, you'd be way ahead by getting your own powder coated.

Just to give you more perspectives, here's my Ammonite Grey S with Black 20" Tornadoes... I'm currently changing out the lug nuts for black (OEM ones are cheap and corrode easily - even in the south!)
