17" Black w/ Polished Lip

Looking for wheels like these that I chopped onto my FC; does anyone have any suggestions and pricing for ones that are like these?

how about Rota D2 in 17x7.5 and 17x8.5 in black w/a polished lip they would look better then the ones you photoshopped on your car and they are not expensive either.

contact Rishie at Autornd.com or send him a pm at ARD T2 (his forum id) he is a good guy he will give you a good deal

That curve is what will give you lip.

The nice thing about the Rota D2's that we have, only one set left, is that they are staggered.

17x7.5 and 8.5 in Coilover friendly offsets for the FC.

I have them in even lower offsets if you want to run some camber, roll fenders, and have a real nice flush look.

Look for a good width and offset wheel. Don't do the worst and buy FWD wheels for your RWD car. they will be super sunk and look gay. If you do fall into that pit then I suggest getting some spacers like these ones we have. hehe.

yA it's kinda a hybrid of the SSR SP1 and the Meister S1. Meister spokes but SP1 "fasteners".
