Shot in the dark man. I think they might look alright, have seen some weird wheels look good on FC's before though

Just keep the fd wheels.
AP1's have a gay offset (not unlike fd's lol) however they don't even look good on S2K's and I'm pretty sure they are not 8" wide.

Edit:
From the S2K forums:
Front:
16" x 6.5", +55 offset, 205 tire
Rear:
16" x 7.5", +65 offset, 225 tire

Fail. Even w/ 4 rears. There's a reason you see FD wheels on everything from 300zx's to Probe GT's and you see AP1's on.......NOTHING.

Besides, the FD wheels are probably a lot lighter (hence the reason so many people swap them).

I don't but I'm pretty sure it was a (rarely exercised) factory option, I've seen them a few times in person on otherwise stock FD's. Polished wheels look good on clean cars, if its a WIP don't waste your time.

this is photoshop'ed (a friend of mine made it) from a pic back here of the forum (hope don't mind it was a white FC)...

I bought a full set of AP1 so in a few days you'll have the real result!
(and yes you'll need spacers to fit them like the FD wheels that I also have(the full set) and honestly I like them both and)

I still prefer the GT-R 32 on FC searching for those back here



hope you'll like!!
