ALRIGHT IT'S KILLING ME!! What wheels would look good on my FC???
18x10 +13
17x8 +10
17x9 + 5
17x9 +15
17x10 +10
I can go all day......
Your car and wheels are nice but those wheels in that offset doesn't work imo. They look much nicer in lower offsets giving the rear especially much more lip which in return gives a rwd car the proper staggered fitment. This is simply my opinion on what looks right and what does not. You like them the way they are so thats all that matters, but if your car was an inch lower and you continued to run your +28 in the front but then ran a x9 +17 or x10 +15 it would set your car off completely and look 100x better imo. And don't give me that street car bullshit either, I'm low as hell with an aggressive fitment and my tires don't rub nor do I have any major tire wear. And honestly bro do you really daily drive this car?

With what tire size though on the stock fenders. Your not going to run 255's with a +13 offset. With the setup he's about the run under the hood he's going to need all the tire he can get.
Sure no problem, for an FC 18x9 +17
18x10 +13
17x8 +10
17x9 + 5
17x9 +15
17x10 +10

Of course if he wanted to keep his rear fenders flat and stock no he couldn't fit that aggressive of a fitment but it would be worth his time imo to roll and pull to achieve that look.
I will say though that your set-up is very sharp looking!
I considered pulling the fenders but my entire paint job is Glasurit and I frankly would hate to chance it and crack the paint.....that is a pricey boo-boo especially on the rear fenders. Hell, when I rolled the front fenders I about got sick when the drivers-side cracked

That is my intention buddy.

few examples of my setup:



that's a 1" pull on the 1/4's, 17x10.5 wide wheel, 255/40 tire. 1.5/2 degree's of negative camber.
don't expect to get more than 1/4" to 1/2" of pull at most out of the stock 1/4's before you have to do bodywork. i spent alot of time with a hammer and dolly to shape the metal, before i was able to smooth it out, and get it ready for paint.

ive seen it b4 it looks ok but too big for FC, i think having small weels can make my car looks nicer =P old school hehehe
Agreed, SSR wheels are very nice and classy. couldn't go wrong there
My vote goes to the r33 gtr wheels as well. THey are a good looking, reletavely inexpensive wheel and i think they'd look fantastic on your car.
Say no to 5zigen/rpf1.
It's not like they're bad wheels at all, i just think you'll get tired of them quickly. You want something that flows with your car, i think r33 wheels would be spot on and hold resale value well if you do get bored.

Based on the first wheel you posted other than yours, I suggest looking into ASA AR1s - they're a similar style, but light, and are basically rebadged BBS wheels. Very nice.
Also, RPF1s look decent, and aren't too expensive for how light they are.
