Mine are 16" Volk Racing REVS2 or something...

I reckon they look bigger cause the car has been lowered a bit... all in all they suit the car perfectly..

not exactly sure, this is how i bought the car, it sits about 10cm off the ground, but that is about as good as I can give you.

that is what happens when you buy a car over the internet...

Yeah, garlic definetly has got a sweet setup. I'm going to look into some volk rims, 16x7 or 16x8, not sure yet. FD rims fit on an FC, but you need 20mm spacers. i'm going to go depending on weight, i can go with 16x6.5 and still fit falken azenis, which is what i'm looking to run all the time pretty much, so it's according to tire price, then i'll look into finding the lightest rims.
