Damn! 8" wide wheels for FC?

Are there any attractive, affordable 16x8 or 17x8 wheels available for the FC? (Of course, Ideally I'd get BBS wheels but they're like $500/wheel.)

edit: ahem, four or five lug, and other than the stock FD wheels (which I could get my hands on)

Sure there are. I've got a set of R32 GT-R rims on my car. They're 16x8 +30 offset. Lighter than stock T2 rims and wider. I picked them up for $500 in near perfect condition a couple of years ago when I was in Japan. I'm not sure where you'd get them over here. But there are good rims available that don't cost an arm and a leg out there.

What do you consider affordable? What's your price range?

For my budget/car, I would consider the upper limit of "affordable" to be $150-$175 a wheel.

I got some kick *** rims at the shop for the FC. Custom ordered offsets.

Gram Light 57C

16,7 and 16,8 +33 and +38 offsets.

I have both gunmetal and silver. These are the only two sets in the US.

We are offerring a very good special on these. Like $300 or more off the retail price. This is the ultimate bang for your buck. Aside from the skyline wheels. lol.
