Favorite wheel for the FC?

I'm looking at buying some new wheels for my car, and I was wondering what everyone's favorite is. I'm thinking Gramlight 57pro, SSR competition or GT2, 5Zigen FNO1-C, Enkie RPM2 or possibly BBS RX or RA. Just curious to see what everyone is running and if you have a picture that's cool too. I like good looks and light weight.

Thanks,
Sam

I've always like the CE28N from Rays Engineering, but they're pricey.

lol...if you look closely, sometimes Ryosouke changes his Mazdaspeeds for a set of RS8s (race against the EVO III) --em, not that I'm an Initial D fan or anything (I'm over 35 )

Anyway, they look like this on an FC:

???

Aren't the RS8s made by Watanabe and not SSR?

Sizing is more common in 14, 15 inch, and 4 lugs as they're a very popular wheel for the Corolla guys. But the 5 lugs are out there. They're on ebay occasionaly.

Those wheels are ugly, just like those two cars.
