CA which rims for my FC!
So, I've been thinking of a 5 lug conversion on my FC. I've been thinking what wheels to get. Came to 2 choice:


Impul R1
17x8+32 17x9+38




Elbe RS
17x8+5 17x9+22




my bb1 and my FC3



Which one would you get? I love mesh wheels!!!!
anybody interested on the staggered gold rims?lol!

The Elbe RS would give your car an aggressive stance if you are going to run stretched tires.

#1, because the fronts will actually FIT. #2 will stick out past the fender.

here's a couple from a socalprelude meet down in san diego couple weeks ago



I love honda but startin to get into rotary coz my buddy had a 93 FD but he sold it... he told me fc's are better and easier to mantain. Also big fan of driftin, cant afford an s2000 right now, the 7 just fit my budget! It's an N/A but engines been overhauled + street ported!! man, this thing is faster than my lude!! but the lude just hugs the road everytime i go canyon curvin! both of them had they're own differences but i think i got the best of both world!!!!

and thanks for the input everyone!
