IL Have u seen an FC run these?

I bought a 87 FC and just started working on it and have been planning out what I wanna do with it. The wheels i might run are the AME Sahallen lx or the Lexion type 201. Have you seen anyone run them and whats your thoughts?

Heres where im at with it:
Stance Coil overs
LS1 (since the vehicle i bought has been in storage for 12 years and the engine is non turbo)
Origin body kit (not sure which version yet) I might change my mind to BN type 2
Stock fenders
Full 12 point cage
Gutted interior
Fuel cell
Air jacks built into the cage
Color (uncertain ether burple (House of Kolors) or some shade of white)
Setting the headlights to just lazy eye (6K HID's)
Garage BB wing and possibly a rear hatch wing towards the roof.

I want clean but functional,whats your thoughts as of right now the car is in the disassembly stage.

Yeah I don't know if I would but the wx on an FC, I just like them. They would go good on a VW CC or whatever those cars are.

I vote for the complete Origin kit over the BN because everyone does the BN or GP. I like your setup though. Please post a link to your build thread in this thread so that I don't miss it.

Yes. Do it.



Do not buy bn.....

I have bn. That's not why i'm telling you not to though. It's "the kit" all the fitment/super low mad tyte drift people get and soon, it will look like everyone elses ****. If you're going to get bn, atleast do it big and go blister. Yes, they're expensive but they are far and few between. Maybe a handfull of cars in the world have that kit.

LX or AX wheels would be my vote.

Maybe it's because i'm gay for weds kranze bazreias since do-luck double sixes are a pipe dream for me.
