FPV have had a few sets of wheels now. What is the best set of FPV rims?
BA GT BA GTP BA2 GT BA2 GT-P BA F6 Cobra GT40 BF GT BF GTP FORCE 6/8 BF2 GT BF2 GTP FG GT FG GTP FG GTE FG F6 FG F6E FG GS FG 335 GT FG 335 GT-P FG 335 GT-E FG 335 F6E FG 335 GS I would say the dark argents would be near the top from the F6 cars but what about the dark argents in the shadow chrome from the FG F6E? they would be my pic.. I think the worst ones are the Cobra and GT40 wheels, maybe the 335 GT is pretty shocking as well. |

This should be interesting - wheels are a personal choice in terms of looks, so what are you looking for here? Do you mean which are the best for drag racing, or circuit work, or looks only? If looks only, BA GT-P wheels in black would be my pick.

And to think that a POLL might have been a smarter option.

Considering most of the wheels are all the same from BF up until FG, they just paint them a different colour and/or move them down a model.
Example aren't the Force 6/8, BF GTP, BF2 GT, FG GT, FG GTE, FG GS all the same wheel in different shades of paint. Same for BF2 GTP, Cobra, GT 40TH |

You can combine that list down to about 6-7 wheels as alot of them are carry over.

I vote none of the above of those listed are wide enough to fill the guards of an FG ute!!!!
Though picking from the above, I would say the F6E!

BA 2 GT-P/BF GT are my favourites with BF F6 19" Dark argents closely following them.

fpv got rid of the ba gtp wheels pretty quickly, the 18 inch version 10 spokers. All the other rims have stayed around a while.
Did everyone hate those early gtp 18inch 10 spokers? |

1st pic FG 315 GTP Followed by Dark argent FG and then BA2 GTP, would all depend on what the car was that it was going on and colour though.

20+ models and about 5 original wheel designs. Too bad they used the best ones 1st. One vote for BA GT.

It created issues/complexities for customers trying to fit spare wheels. It was a front supplied in the boot as a rear couldn't be fitted to the front. It was more complicated than it needed to be. BA MkII moved to the same offset all around which remains to this day on FG. BA GT-P rims would look great on a BA Ute if they fit, given the extra offset.

Another vote for my all time favourite - BA GTP
After that, Dark Argents.
