Default Vote for my new Forged Wheels!

Looking at some options for forged wheels for my f type R.

Below are the three that I've narrowed it down to. All are 2 piece forged and will be finished in Gloss black or a brushed dark tint. with the inner barrel in gloss black.

I would go with the first one and the lighter of the colors.

No 3, the other 2 look very similar and the spokes are too small, 3 is different, did a bit of playing about with paint app, you could add a bit of wheel color

#3. Unique and eye-catching. That's definitely my vote.

2 tickles my fancy. But I'd have a brighter colour on the calipers too, given that they will be very prominent. Yellow would look pretty snazzy, or blue like the car.

It's pretty obvious from the color highlighting and these images that you want to go with this rim & I saw that nobody else has voted for it so I tossed my vote in for you. The bottom line is that you should not bother asking others in a poll. Go out and buy what YOU want because it is YOUR vision that actually matters. Trust me, if you don't "follow your heart" you will regret it later. However, if you do follow your intuition and buy what looks good to you and then later decide it was a mistake, you will never be left wondering "what if". But #3 and show this guys and gals here just how good that CAN look.

It's your car. You are the one that has to want to look back at the car when walk away from it. Personally I like #1 best and think 3 is just not right for an F-Type. But that's me. Others obviously like 3 best.

Actually, almost everyone voted for #1 (11 votes) vs. only mine for #3. There is an owner that bought some of the Niche Essen's that look VERY similar to #1 and are probably a fraction of the cost. They look good. Post #'s 1467 & 1471 in that thread here...

You are completely right. but in all honesty I was completely torn between 1 and 3 lol.

But with that said I've actually found another option that I think i like even better which are kind of similar to option 1.

I really like this color combo too... Dark tinted bronze spokes with a brushed black tinted barrel and black titanium hardware.... i think the dark bronze will be a good contrast from the bright blue car.

love the jaguar blade wheels, but over here in canada they run $8000 per set new from the dealership. And if i'm going to spend that kind of money I would go for something a bit different and custom
