Greetings yo.

Need some thoughts on wheels for my FC. Want to put 16 or 17X7.5 front and 16 or 17X9 rear. What wheels would be recommended, and where should I go to look for them? Thanks!

 

That REALLY depends on how much money you have or are willing to spend.

 

Ask that same q in the wheel forum:

Tada!

 

Try tires.com - They have a good selection of 16 and 17 inch wheels for the 4-bolt SE.

 

I want either Enkei RPOMs in 16", or the stock S5 Vert BBS mesh rims, powdercoated white. Cheap, light, and unique!

 

Pick up a car rag and marvel at the HUNDREDS of ads for wheels at any magazine rack...Yo

 

I love REAL Japanese wheels for a Japanese car. The nice wheels from SSR, Rays Engineering, Work, Advan etc. Of course most will cost you an arm and a leg.

 

Kosei K1's in the 16" size with the best street tire you can afford. Depending on the color of your car the white ones look good.

 

Thanks! I'm getting the five-lug conversion done, actually. Sorry I should have said that, I suppose. Thanks for the help, again!

 

I second the Kosei recommendation, but how about say what kind of wheel you're looking for, too broad of a question. 5 spoke? Mesh? Painted/Powdercoated/chrome/polished? 16s or 17s? Why go with diff width wheels? Makes it impossible to rotate tires properly without dismounting, and just how much traction do you need? Plus 9+ in wide wheels are harder to find.

Fair enough. I would prefer 5-spoke, although those Kosei wheels may just change my mind. Also, basically my friend had a nine inch wide wheel on the back of his FC, with eights on the front, and I just loved the way it looked. I like the basic flat look, no chrome or polish.
