Pics: FC on 17" Gram Lites

I just got these yesterday from Rishie. They are 17x7.5 front, 17x9.5 rear riding on Toyo Ts1 225/45 and 255/40 .The fitment is excellent and the wheels look great. I must say that these wheels look 10x better in person that they do in the pics.

Even the guy at Discount who mounted balanced them commented on how nice they obviously were since they were nearly perfectly balanced.

The car drives much better as well now.

last one for now. These pics are actually really big, but I have to down size them a ton so the forum will accept it. I need to get a website so I can host the larger images.

Dude, that is sweeeet. Rishie is a good buddy of mine. Nice to see another happy customer of his. Man the concavity in the rear looks sickening.

Congratulations. Nice tires too.

I love the look of the rear wheels. I think I'm going to go with the same setup for my car.

I have to agree. Honestly, when I was looking at pics origionally I wasn't that impressed. *UNTIL* I saw the rear wheel in 9.5" width and the concave. That totally did it for me.

The finish is really impressive also. I tried to get a pic of it but haven't quite gotten the lighting right and I'm not a photographer.

Thanks for the comments!

Very very nice... how come you decided to go with 7.5 inches in the front and not say a 8.0 inch ?

I'm pretty sure these only come in 7.5, 8.5, 9.5. I don' t think 8 is an option and 8.5 would have been too wide.

That is exactly correct. We can't get a wider 57c in there. Let me know if you guys want these. We'll be stocking them in certain fitments.

Peace, Rishie

How wide can the rear wheels go on the FC?

I like these wheels... how much were they for you?

9.5 in the rear. PM me for your club price. It's a good deal for this high quality casting from Ray's.

haha, this is a old thread

Weight... umm, this was from a year ago, but I think they are about 17lbs each for the 17x9.5 rear. Cost I can't remember, been too long. Maybe $1200 for all 4?

Yes I do have 2 FC's. My 10th AE project, and my beat to crap 91 daily driven while the 10th is under construction. (didn't realize at first who was asking that questions )

I don't remember the offset so I'll have to check... They do make them in bronze. Actually, the 5Ziegen FN01 (or something like that) are really nice as well. I think my buddy is looking to sell his set and they look very similiar to these, except they are the bronze color. PM me if you might be interested.
