hehe. I knew Knight would say that, he's like me. But I woud run Rotas. LOL. That's some funny ****. Gotta love the Phillipines. IMO. For your situation, they might work well considering you don't want to spend the value of your car in wheels.
Although, I would not running anything thinner than a 7.5" wheel, which would require a +30 to +35 offset to look right. Or the best is an 8" wheel front and rear between a +35-+40.
If you don't stick around these limits it will either rub or look like the wheel is sitting three to four inches inside your rear fender. For one, most of the "knockoffs" are produced in a high offset, FWD fitment. Now you've got RWD and for the most part, cept S2000 and IS300, they will use a lower offset than the FWD.
Don't make your car look funny by getting the wrong offset. If the wheel is 7" then get a +30 and don't sway from that. I've seen a ton of FC's with knockoffs and it looked like their wheelbase was narrower than stock, even though they put slightly wider tires.
If you stick with those offsets, you should run a 225/45/17 front and rear as well. If you're slammed, run a 215/45. It'll look real nice.
If you need more advice on the FC please PM me, that's all I got FC's baby. hehe. You third gen elitists!!!!!!! I wish, ****.

All's I know is what will look good. Don't worry about matching to the stock offset, that will only apply if you put the same width wheel on, but doesn't neccessarily indicate the best offset to run. This could change based on suspension mods you've done.

If you need offset advice please ask. I'm good with that stuff on the FC. All I need to know is your budget, somewhat apparent, as well as the diameter of wheel you'd ideally want.
I love staggered fitments for street vehicles, if they're RWD duh?, so I can probably find you something around that price range which would have the best of all worlds, it'll throw a couple pounds into the equation but nothing you wouldn't get out of the Konig's.

Hey knight, Li told me the GTC's came in, you probably got them on huh? He keeps saying they look real good but I've only seen a shitty fax of them.

Rishie-
I'm pickin up two sets on Monday. I got one for one of my friends too but he only went 18x8 and 9.....he should have gotten 10's
I ended up going Face I and Face II in the back. I'll see how it comes out. I should have pics late Monday.
From what i know the few GTC that came on the container are sold out..I know that Li and Eddie were preselling everything. Damn Li MIA tonight Eddie and I couldn't find him to go clubbin with us.
