RIMS for an FC?

I just bought a 10th ANN it has a set of 3rd gen wheels on it. Im trying to look ahead as far as buying rims for it so i was wondering if any of you guys can post some pictures of your FC 's with rims . Just to get an idea..

I think that 3rd gen wheels look great on an FC.

Volk GT-P's, 16x8 front and 17x9 rear. That'll hold a good amount of power. If you're looking for a really light wheel, get the Volk CE28N. Work wheels are good, too.

Powdercoat your rims black. It looks really hot. Or you can change them to mustang GT rims, some people on here have done it. It looks really good.

FDreaming-As long as it took you to right all those links and whatnot you could have just told him your answer. This is why I rarely come on here for some advice.

Good luck choosing your rims. I will stick with my ugly phone dial S4 rims because they are light and came with the car.

Just wondering, but what answer was there to give? He might not have aftermarket rims on his car, so he wouldn't have any pictures, so instead he gave him links to the search function and to the photo gallery, both which are more helpful than him saying "No" or the likes.

Why would you buy 10" wide rims and shod them with 225 series tires?

Front: FNO1R-C 17x9 +15 235/45-17


Rear: 17x10 +12 255/40-17


The rear needs fender work and I'm going to drop it lower so the tires tuck. I have Corksport fenders in the front.

Not right now, but it's a POS. You don't want to see it.
