nah the I suspected the evo 5 too but they have that chrome stuff.
I also thought they may be speedy lite 5's but they dont have the cutouts near the center like the speedy's.
I like the speedy's but they dont come wide enogh for my taste. The widest they come is 7.5.

I'm sure you know this, being you've been a member for a while... But those definitely ARE NOT FD wheels. Plus to use FD wheels on an FC you need a giant spacer.

Carzy driver you better turn up your screen resolution cuz those wheels most certainly are not Fd wheels. Anyway, The Rc-5 is deffinitely the answer . I thought about that before but I just examined a bit closer and thats them. They are quite high dollar though, the same wheels Re-Amemiya used to have on thier race car. Except they used the magnesium version. The spokes are hollow, and the look of them is stunning. Thanks DarkKnightFC and all others who helped.

Yah I knew that. I was just stirrin' up the pot. You don't need that big of a spacer, it's only about 40-45mm I think

What size wheel are you looking for? With 17x9.5 and bigger inch or JJ you will need to flare your fenders so they don't rub. It could depend on the type of driving too maybe. I'm running with Work Emotion 17x9.0 in the front and 18x9.5 in the ***.

Those mazdaspeed wheels are really sweet. Sick pricetag to go with em too, they're magnesium. They are almost Identical to the rc5.
