fifteen52 RSLs on FC?

I know that these wheels are more in the euro scene, and the look isn't for everyone, but Patrick Goodin and Ryan Tuerck are running them in Formula D on S13s, and they do make them in a 5x114.3 PCD. I think they could look good, but really have no idea. Is anyone running them? Do you guys think they'd look good?

Wow, they look a lot like Rega Masters, which look AWESOME on FC's. I say go for it.

EDIT: Although, I just looked at your build thread and saw you have the Mariah front end, which makes me say Meeeehhhh... about the wheels. Not sure they'd look good with that front end. Little too modern.

Ya they look like Regamasters +1 with no lip at all haha. Thanks for looking at my build, i didn't necessarily mean for my car per say, i was just wondering if anyone is running them. I know the Mariah doesn't look good with everything, I'm happy with my RPF1s because they look good with it

i actually wanted to get these.. but the offsets are a little weak on their 17's.. if you get them i think you'd have to get the 18x9.5's for them to be fitted aggresively

They look a lot like these 16's that a forum member is selling in the West Forum Classifieds:

Agreed. The lack of lip kills it for me.

Lol, they definitely don't look like Equip's at all.

And by saying that they look like Rega's, I just mean the 5 point star style, which I think looks BONUS on an FC.

Ya i mean they don't really look like Equips, and they look like Regas because of the 5-spoke design where the spoke gets slimmer near the outer edge of the dish. Obviously the style is different than Equips and Regas however because of the no-lip design.

They aren't meant for everyone, but i'd love to see if anyone has them. If i were to get some for an FC the only sizes they make so far in 17s are 17x8 and 17x9, offsets can be either 30 or 45 with custom offsets running +$100 per wheel. And they aren't as expensive as Equips or a real set of Regamasters, right?

I think they're like $250 a wheel.. I would just buy a set of 17x9's and a set of 25mm spacers off the forum for like $50.. **** that custom offset $100 bullshit..

If I'm going to spend $350 on a wheel, that **** is going to be forged
