The only other car I would go for (but can't afford) would an NSX.

FD in skid pad
Here's a video clip of the car when it had the 17 x 9.0 & 10.0. My driving sucks though.

^I agree. Hardhitter, you have a nice ride there. Love the wheels.
And REH, you can pick some damn wheels, haha. I love both of those. My buddy has those same 5Zigens but they're not as agressive in the back.

Like I said ealier, I took a chance when i went with a half inch wider (and taller) wheels later. I really like the 17's except for the fact that tires don't come in sizes under 40 series anything over 275. I was able to run my car really low with those 5Zigens. Next FD will probably have 17's up front and 18's in the rear. By the way, the guy that's selling my wheels is now asking $800.

Not unless I hit a really big pot hole. I would ideally have liked to go with a higher offset on the rears but I would've had to wait 5+ months and pay a higher price for the custom offset.

With the correct offcet you could have gone 285/30's with no rubbing. Instead of your 265's... Your car still looks hot the way it is... Congratulations!

I should be getting my wheels next week or the week after, I'll post some pics when I get the tires and get them mounted. I got custom offset too, and it did take about 8 months but the price was still pretty good. I'm gonna have to roll my fenders though, I think.
