Which FWD rims for 242 GT

[GTBrik]

I've narrowed it down to Titans, Canistos (double 5 spoke 17"s from C70s, see "my 142" post), or Perfos (see "wheels" icon/picture on swedespeed.com gallery)

[stylngle2003]

the gallery on swedespeed doesnt work for me...says "coming soon"

id say titans would look sweet, but ill wait to vote till i see the perfos

Titans or Pegs. Look to Rob Prince's cars for what yours would look like with them...

I do like Canistos too, so if a too-good deal comes up, I say go for it :)

I don't like Perfos on 240s really.

Only choice I'd pick is Titans.

Photochop excercise on my GT. Personally, I like the Tethys, but that was not the popular vote.

On my GT, I have seen Titans, Tritons (those 18" BBS), and Tethys. The Tritons are super sweet, but 18" tires are expensive and you can't run much sidewall. Therefore the ride is pretty rough and easier to bend a wheel. Titans look good on everything. Tethys took me a while to get used to, but now I like em. I don't really like Canistos on 240's, and I've never seen Perfos on one before.

So I voted for Titans.

i don't think you can go wrong with any of those choices.. my only suggestion is that you get siler wheels to go with the silver paint then match the red/orange striping to the calipers.. then a good lowering and it would look great imo..

[stylngle2003]

finally voted titan...they look too cool i think

Chris' tethys' do look incredible tho, but then again, i like multispoke wheels

get some propous, or what ever those are called, but there basically a 17" trition, im sure someone here will have pic's of them.
