Will these look like this when moving?

I am trying to archive a certain look when car is in motion. When I am driving , I want the brakes to be clearly seen and you can see through the wheels. The 3 and 5 spokes are not my cup of tea.

Will 9 or 12 spoke wheels give me desire effect?

Image from 180custom.



These are rays 57xtreme grams light wheels I am considering.

I'm no expert in photography but you need a decent camera with the right shutter speed settings etc..

Practically any wheel design with thin enough spokes will achieve that same effect. You'll need to have a decent sized caliper and brighter colors to maximize the effect.

You can go 5spoke with thicker spokes, all the way to 12 or even 16 spoke with much thinner spokes.

Also, the more contrast between wheel and caliper color, the better.

Thanks guys!

Also will the wheels look like they aren't attach to anything and able to see the pavement through the wheel while rolling? I can't seem to find that pic that started me down this path. It was a ob coupe with cv3 going down a twisty path.

That's a gorgeous ride Sam. Every time I see a Nicey mod coupe makes me regret getting a sedan. Your pic is a good illustration. For my wheels I would like to see little more of the background through the wheel.
