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?

 

mustang wheels are 17" x 8" and around $300 a pair.
i got my self a nice set of 97' cobra wheels. no stang or ford logos. look at that thread named "need weight of mustang wheels" or somthing. there photos on page 2.

 

17x8 tsw hokenheim, will fit a 235-40-17 w/2.5" springs. Carl Byck

 

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.

Damn, those are nice. Wish I had some spare cash I could pony up.

 

The tsw rims are in that price range.
