Which wheels guys?

Thinking I'm going to pull the trigger on finally getting some wheels on my 09 FX35.. Lexani wheels might be doing a sponsorship on it, but I can't decide on not only which size, but which wheel? I love 24's, but I hate that rubber band look on 30 series tires. I'm torn, think I'v narrowed it down to these 2 choices though.

Keep in mind, which ever one I go with will most likely be black powder-coated.. Give me your thoughts peeps..

Appreciate it!


24" Lexani LSS-55

i like the 24's. IDK IMO, anything >20 without a lip or with the spokes extended to the edge of the lip look kind of awkward
 
from those 2 I think I'd pick the first... the lip will make it not look so huge really too as a lip makes the wheel look a little smaller anyway, even in a 24... the 09 fx is a bigger bulkier look than the previous gen fx & I think it pulls off 24's well
 
Not a fan of going BIG but I like the style of the 24's much more than the 22's. Nice looking wheel.

So you guys are saying I should go with the 24" huh? lol

so these? --> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/tonypics/Screenshot2010-03-24at25721PM.png

I'm going black because I'm going to get my roof painted black as well..
 
Looks like we've got the age old question going on here, 24" or 22"? I'm stumped... I do agree with TurboCad6, I do think the 2nd gen can pull off 24's a lot better then the 1st gen can...
 
From the options, I chose the first one for it's design.
If you're open for 22s vs 24s, I'd choose 22s.
But I do like the one with the machined accented lip better than the all black lip.

You know the streets in the Valley, 24s won't last.
 
i also consider 22s to be perfect for the fx. though 24s with dark or black theme and small or no lip looks good too.
 
idunno, to me the new 09 fx with 24's looks to be about the same overall stance & fit wise as the first gen fx with 22's.... the second gen fx is bulkier looking & has a lot going on between the funky headlights & the fender vents & stuff, it just appears larger & really it is a bit larger too... 22's look smaller on it than a first gen... you can even see this when you look at a first gen with the 21's, they look bigger on a first gen than on a second gen that comes with the 21's I think...

24" all the way. Better style and look cleaner. Throw some picture up when you get it . If you get the 24", I'll like to see how it look on the FX. I shopping around for rims too. Lexani got some classy and hot looking wheels.
