Enkei wheels are nice, I think they make the stock FD wheels. I dont care for the spoke design of those, but I think they are quality. I think I like this brand the best:

It's a pretty good quality wheel and very light.
Standard sizes aren't very FD-friendly, you'd have to get the 17x8.5 +40 front, 17x9.5 +38 rear. I did notice you can special order 17x9 +45 offset, which would be ideal.

Serch around for posts by Cossie, I believe he had 17" versions of the RPF1 on his white FD before going with Volks. They looked alot better than you might think.. pretty good actually, and they are very light, and very inexpensive.
The 17x9 +35 wouldn't be the best choice up front, but you could use the 17x8.5 +40 front, and 17x9.5 +38 in the rear.

how about the enkei rp03 type c, those are alot better looking than the ones above. similar styling to fiske profile 5.
and is it possible to run 17 x 9.5 up front with the 38 offset? (provided that you have the feed front fenders that gives you .8" more room)
