Circle Racing wheels
Anybody has ever used or seen these wheels.
Looks like the 16x10" is pretty light coming in at about 15 pounds. Might be comparable to stock FD wheels.
Would these fit on FD?
I know they kinda on the ugly side of the world.

Reza, I think you are going to run into serious issues with hitting the suspension pieces with only a 16" wheel. Besides, what tires would you run with wider 16" wheels?
What looks REALLY interesting are the 18x10 wheels that are hub-centric with custom offsets for only $580/wheel. They only weigh 19.4 lbs and look pretty good too!

Already on Coilover, so spring should not be issue. The only problem might be the trailing arm. But I want to run lower offset as well, and make the rim flush with fender. Probably around +35 to +40mm. And this should help clear the suspensions.
Running on 245/45/16 with 16x9 or 9.5" is preferable. Its just hard to find Japanese rims in 16x9".
I got 17x10 with Victos already for autocross. Now I am looking for daily drive/drift wheels.

The only problem with clearance is the pad height. It is usually not enough. You need to run longer studs, and a 1/2" spacer to clear the front caliper. 16" is not a problem, in fact, thy fit over my Supra 13.6" front brakes(with the spacer). You will need to measure caliper height from the mounting surface to the most outboardpart of the brake caliper to know if you need a spacer or not. The Real Racing Wheels are what I use in a 16x12, they clear my brakes no problem on the FC. They cost about the same, and are 3 piece so if you are drifting, and hit the inevitable, you can replace a rim half.
