Mustang rims are the best cheap rims you can get and cobra rims are the best looking rims for an FC IMO.

these are my 99 cobra rims that i got off my brother for 200$

18x7.5
+45 offset (sucks)
225/40/18 khumo tires 50%
and have plenty of spacers to make it work like it did for me cheap and only a state up about 5 hrs...
500 picked up for all
have tons of pics of the wheels if you would like more.
wheels are next to perfect no chips bends or rash, I bought brand new 2 years ago. Let me know if interested
Width and offsets are weak annnnnnnnnd they look NOTHING like te's.....

Cars that typically suffer from owners with bad wheel selection are Mustangs and 350zs, where the owners want to "bling" out their car by buying the cheapest rims they think is cool... and they are usually some horrible sized wheels that are designed for a honda, skinny and no stagger/offset. You see it all the time with majority of those cars with aftermarket wheels.. Wheel shops will be happy to sell you any rims and tell you "it looks good bro".
I totally agree. For a while I thought I was the only one that noticed... I hate seeing new Z's with cheesy *** wheels that look rediculous... Then I can't help but stare so the owner probly thinks I'm envious when really I'm disgusted!!

Holy ****! Those look good! They almost look like the RUF wheels made for Porsche! Hmmmm.
How are they weight wise though...?

962

I will never put rims from another car in any fc.
Crown vic,mustang,skyline or any other oem wheel.That is one of the reason that people think that fc owners are cheap and broke.I f i was the OP i will buy a nice cheap set of wheel that l like and go for it,the 962 are a nice wheel,cheap and they do come on the right offset(my rear setup was ordered in 17x10 with the right offset directly from PRIMAX 962 manufacter) not like the other OEM choices that required spacer and crap.I will and i rock GUNMETAL 962 on my 500hp FC and i wont change them for any other OEM rim,just my opinion.

Those are nice. I (the OP) purchased the titanium bronze 5zigen-Fn01r-c's several years ago, a decision I will never regret because they offset the color of my car nicely.
