My new ride!

This car has Rox "star" rims on it. 20" too. They ran him around $2000. I priced the wheels and tires in 18" for about $1200.

 

I like these rims a lot better than the all chrome ones.
Nonetheless it is your car and do what you like best nothing looks stupid if you like it :shrug:! Just dont do what my friend did when i said that and go sticking pep boy sticker vents all over your car!

Im not a chrome person but the style of the rims are very nice both chrome and black/chrome. I personally would go with the chromed and black ones.

I would save up for some bigger rims cause itll go better with the car. just my .02!

Good luck with everything!
 
A 20" wheel on a 160 horse car will make the acceleration a bit gutless -- too much rotating mass / resistance. No bigger than 18.

Were it me, I'd leave it bone as* stock and put the greenbacks in the bank.

Thats why I say to get 18's. 20's will really cut down on my gas mileage. That car with the 20's has a 225 hp v6 in it so I'm sure he doesn't have any problem taking off.

I definitely agree that buying rims is a really bad investment but what can you do when a guy wants something.
 
Damn, the more fusions' i see with rims, the more they grow on me. really good lookin car IMO.

edit* was browsing the fusion forum. and ran across a fusion with 18" "rox" stars, (same as pictured above)

donradeon, no offense but they look like they belong on a honda. The fusion isn't really that type of car. It's alot bigger than the contour. I don't think racing wheels fit it to well.
 
Would there be anyone interested on doing a photochop with the two different diamo rims on my black Fusion. If you would need a better side picture let me know.

Yeah I've already talked to that guy. They look really nice. I found them at my local shop and I was thinking about getting them but I really like the diamo rims but they are little more expensive.

Alright if you wanna look like a drug dealer with no taste, that's all you.
 
dude i like the first rims you posted. im not usually a fan of chrome but i feel like it would fit the car perfectly because of all the other chrome thats already on it... do what you want! i think it would look nice.
 
i've only seen one of these things modded in person and it looked so clean. lip kit and some 18's or 19's...had to take a double look.

chrome wheels can be nice as long as you stick with a 5 lug ;)
 
I think the chrome wheels will go very well with the car since it already has all the chrome on the front. I'm really trying to get a set of those diamo rims. 18" though. Anything bigger than that will be way to expensive to get tires.

Could someone please to a photoshop with those wheels and my car? I want to see what it would look like before I spent the money.
