Default Looking for new rims, I have about 3 solid choices.

One of my rims is warped, been driving on it for a while so I need to get it replaced, I honestly love the look of the super sevens painted black, which is my setup now with TRD springs. I could just get one rim to replace it, then paint it black again.

Or, I can go for black RPF1s or black 5zigen fn01rc. I want 18s, not a fan of how small 17s look, plus I want to use my old tires if thats possible. Anyone running a NBM tC with black RPF1/fn01rc?

Neither of those rims are as aggressive looking as the super sevens in my opinion, and thats what I want. Aggressive looking rims, anyone have any other suggestions? I can top out at $1200.

Here's tc909s FN01R-C, but they are 17s. I think they look good, I have never seen black rpf1s at all on anybody's car that I have seen.

See thats the thing, I like how they look, and it would look really "street". I want it a tad more aggressive looking though (not offset either, I just mean the overall look of the rim mounted). Thanks for the pics.

No problem, the black FN01R-Cs come in 18x7.5 with a 35 offset so that is good. I don't think they make the RPF1s in black anymore, I think it was a limited time thing. I really like the super 7s painted black though.

I called my shop and they could get black rpf1s for $1195. Very good performance shop, would take a week though.

Oh that is cool. I forgot Dezod is selling them but they are 17x8.5 and like a 30 offset. I would like to see them in black, I have only seen them in gold and silver on a tC.

30 offset is gonna be pretty far out flush,might not really look good with 17s,RPFs would look hot on your color car in 18s.......RPFs are much better looking in person than in pictures.

Not the best pics but these are the FN01R-C 18x7.5 et35

I have also seen Black RPF1s on a tC in person and it looks great.
