These Borbet Type-A wheels came on my car when I bought them...





I dont think there are any really good looking 16" wheels for FDs, I think most 17's are perfect for our cars

Few people would do the style that you're looking for, but I can help you look ill...

Work Meister S1 2-piece will look rad... and you run lower than stock offset (+50) to grab yourself a lip...



These are 16x8" +30, the size you should run up front. In the rear you should run something like a 16x8" +22 or +20... in that range. You'll pretty much max out your lip on stock bodywork. That's if you're set on 8" wide... you could add some width up front and back... that'll change the offsets for the same lippage.
