Not yet, my tire order just messed up so I went ahead and bought a new rear diff, all new brake rotors and pads, some RB lowering springs, shock mounts and spring seats. Tires are next in the list. I'll post as soon as I have them though, don't worry about that.

i have a set of 18x9.5 +22 all around im picking up perfect FC fitment on all corners (W/ coilovers) and sportmax wheels are gay for one reason. They are way to damn heavy.

nope, just enough rubber for me, I'm not a fan of stretching tires and these are perfect, don't mind the added protection for the rim either. I ended up with the ASX's instead of the Ecsta MX's due to the MX's being on backorder, oh well. There will plenty of chances to try different tires.

Just got to drive it with the new differential, suspension, brakes and wheels today. It seems to be settling a bit which is good.

I'm running 17x9.5 front and rear. Fronts are perfect with a 1/4 spacer and rears need a 1/2 spacer, I don't like the look of these wheels staggered. And yes they are heavy as *****.

I had these in 18x9.5 rear & 18x7.5 fronts. The 18x9.5 each with tire weighed 55lbs & the 18.7.5 each with tire weighed 50lbs. They are pretty heavy that is why I got rid of my set.

I made the center caps fit by grinding down the end of the stud that the wheel bearing is mounted to the hub with (the part that hits the cap). I cut it down to about 1/16" from the cotter pin that locks the castle nut. I then spaced out the center cap with some small washers and longer bolts, by a little under 1/16". Just clears (no contact with the stud) and the spacing of the cap is not noticable. I did have to (obviously) lose the dust caps on the wheel bearings.

Mine (Big pictures):

I know you asked for a FC with them, but hey they're on my boosted Miata. Alot of guys don't like 17's on miatas, but personally I think the 962's are a great wheel for these cars and FC's. I get compliments all teh time!

Oh and these are the chrome faced as well, I did not see anyone rockin' these in this thread. Hope you enjoy!
