Well, I'm thinking about saving for some. Found a set of 16x8's never mounted w/ new tires for $650.

Just my opinion but I don't feel that 16 inch wheels are are good choice for our cars.

^Well, that car belongs to a member on here who has since then added fender flares and FN01's, but I could find him and ask.

That setup is (IIRC) 15x7's w/ +15 offset 22mm spacers up front.

IMO - Looks like garbage. Would never do it. The only wheels I've ever liked on FB's are either Riken/Enkei Mesh or Rota/Panasports. Would never do anything else..

Ah. So maybe calling them up to do a "custom" drilling (giggidy) wouldn't be a bad idea.

Panasports or epsilons FTW. GTUs wheels would look good to.
