Yokohama AVS?

I found a set of pretty cheap Yokohama AVS wheels, and was wondering if anyone thought they'd look good on an FC. Saw them on an R32 in a JDM movie w/ Keiichi Tsuchiya back in the day and thought they looked good.
They need a good cleaning, but I think they'd look pretty good. Anyone have a picture with similar wheels on an FC?

They are VS-5s , and they have hollow spokes with rubber plugs
Buy those if they are cheap. They are hard to find in good sizing.

These kats don't know what up......

They are 17x7. Only thing is, I wouldn't be able to buy tires if I pick these up. I hate being poor, haha. Gotta wait until I pay off my loan before I go spending money on the 7. Here is the link, they are on RBmotoring, $300 is pretty cheap for these!

the offset on those are too high.might as well keep the stock wheels. from +40 to +50 is pretty bad.won't even clear the struts.

Didn't even notice the offset was on the page.

these wheels are alright. the offset is too high plus that's kinda narrow for its diameter.

i did see these wheels in that movie you watched too but i personally wouldn't rock them.

but i guess for it's price, seems okay. it'll look like you're rocking factory wheels. =P

A little late on the reply but I found the same style of avs 17x8 and 17x9 for $100 off a supra from japan.I had my brother in law turn the lip that holds that ugly center cap off of them and I refinshed them in a ppg gold.What do ya think??
