Drift R Wheels

what do you guys think of this wheel?

http://www.groupawheels.com/driftr_black.html

my only problem is they only come in 18 inch or bigger. i wanted to stay 17 cause 18's are a bit big for an FC...any similar wheels with a similar price tag i should look at?

18's are not to big. We just put some 18x8.5 f with 235/35/18 and 18x9.5 265/35/18 on my friends vert with stock suspension and it fits fine. Actually 19's fit aswell.

Good luck with the build . You can't beat a classic with stock lines .
