I tried my buddys firehawk wheels. I dont like the white painted accents but you get the idea. I didnt put the center caps on but they still look good. I just wanted too see what everyone thought.

I agree. I just wanted to see what they looked like on my car. If I get a set I want to paint the inserts silver or black I am not too sure how blue would look.

Obviously there are MANY opinions here, so I guess you're left wondering ... "Which one REALLY looks better?"
So, I'll tell you ... the Firehawk wheels. Which is weird, because I'm a very hard-core stock guy. But the Firehawk is the KING of Thirdgens IMO, and I think those wheels look hot. And since you obviously have other mods to your car, might as well change the wheels, too.
At least you would be sticking with thirdgen wheels either way.

The GTA wheels would look better with lighter colored spokes. The black paint hides the spokes and makes the whole center of the wheel look like one big blob.
The aluminum finish of the Ronals go with the GFX and the larger diameter makes them look better as well. I'm not a fan of the fat spokes, but they do a good job of hiding 80's era brakes.

I think they look good but would look better without the white accents as you said. Either plain or the same blue as your car would look awesome.

i think the best look would be the gtas, but with the spokes painted to match the gfx.
