Deep Dish Mustang SC knockoff wheels
Ebay link
I am thinking about getting these for my FC. What would the fitment be? Are they worth it? Im liking the deep dish and how cheap they are but dont know how heavy they are.

Fronts should fit since you have coilovers. Some coilovers however do not give enough clearance to fit the wheel, so you may need a 5mm spacer if that happens. How it fits under the front fenders will depend on the size of tire you are running.
Rears will have to be rolled depending on your tire size.

A "light" 17x10 is still gonna weigh around 20lbs, for the price I'd say those aren't terrible. Remember, 10" wheel has alot more material to it than a 8" of the same spoke design. For example, a 17x7 FN01 is a mere 15.5lbs, a 17x8 is 17lbs, and the 17x10 is a whopping 19.5 lbs. That is a 4 lb increase from only 3" of extra material.

A wheel that weighs 3 or 6lbs. more than your definition of a light wheel is nothing more than a waste of aluminum. If looks are the only concern, go for it, if performance is appreciated even the slightest little bit, keep looking.

edit: Yes, they will slow down your NA, and mostly be a waste of money on a DD. Those kinda widths are for the track.
