Just my opinion, but that would probably look pretty nasty. The lines of those wheels are totally contradictory to the car...

I think they'll look good.

Here's my car with some that look similar to those.
Mine are only 15's though.

most mesh styles look nice on the FC - but any rim for this car should have a decent lip to it. flat, non-dished wheels look terrible on this car and are much more suited to front drivers.

I have these rims on my car but 18's and in the hyper black. I have a pic of it but it doesnt do it justice. I will be taking some more later this week and will post. All I can say is that it looks so damn hot on an FC. I think they look better on a darker color car but still nice on my white FC.

I am putting those on my FD. Here is a pic of an FD with the same set of rims that I will be running, in the same sizes and offsets.

As for an FC, they wouldnt look nearly as good by the time you adjusted width (lip depth) and offset to suit the car. 8s up front and 9s out back would be sweet, but hard to find.





You guys can't tell me there's anything wrong with that

I want some of what your smoking there Rotary Ressurection. There is no adjustments to be made. I have a staggered set of these rims on my FC. With 7.5's in the front and 8.5 in the rear. Fit awesome with no problems at all. I wanted them to fill up the wheel well with no adjustments to be made. Here is a pic but its horrible but atleast you get an idea of what it looks like. I will be lowering the car shortly so it will look much better. Oh and you wouldnt want anything bigger then 8.5's in the rear with 265's. With 265 it just fits the rear wheel well. Really sorry about the crappy picture but I will get better ones sometime this week...

Damn...I thought most people say 18's look too big on an FC, but those look just right to me. How much was the set?

Specially since they don't even make them in those sizes.

I paid $1900 Canadian (so like $1400 American) for them. I think 18's look so hot on FC's because they fill up the wheel wells quite nicely. But as I said earlier it will look even better when I lower the car in the next month.

Those are similiar to the wheels I'm looking for... I'm either doing some 16x8" mesh style (that I guarantee no one has on an FC, yet) or those ADRs in gunmetal.

Should look great.

Thanks man...just one other question for ya I promise I though they only made the 18x8.5 in the 35 mm offset. I only see as low as 40mm offset for the 18x7.5. Is that what you are running up front?
