Ive searched and managed to turn up very little on these wheels.Ive found maybe a handfull of pics of these on the fd.I know a lot of you guys suggest these wheels and I know quite a few of you have them.If you have pics of these wheels on your fd I would really appreciate it if you guys could post em.Thanx a bunch.Also if you guys could include the wheel and tire sizes that would rock.Im thinking of either running 17x9's on all 4 corners or 17x9's front and 18x9.5 rear.
Thanx once again.

Try a search with just "FNO1R-C."

Hey man,
I JUST bought FNO1R-C's and one of the wheels is defective. I'm in the process of having it worked out with them, so I'll get back to you on the progress. I had the tires mounted and balanced, then the right front went flat after 3 days. Put it in water, and bubbles come up through the rim. I don't think this is very common, so you probably won't have anything to worry about. Anyway, my sizes are 17X8 +35 upfront, 235's. 17X9 +35 in the rear, 265's. They fit great. I'll take a pic when I get them back on, probably gonna be a couple weeks till I get the last one mounted and balanced.

thanx man.I really appreciate it.I was thinking of going with 17x9's all the way around but I heard there were rubbing issues.Also Ive heard many great things about these wheels.I cant imagine they suck as theres a r32 skyline in my town with 1100 horsepower running these wheels.So if theyre good for that car im sure they will be alright.Plus.you cant beat the price.
Do the 17's come in 8.5 inch widths by any chance?
I was thinking of running maybe 17x8.5 in the front and 17x9's in the back.

I searched just for fn01r-c's and still found very little.So if you have pics of other cars or your own with these wheels please dont be afraid to show them off.Thanx guys.

You can do 17x9 all the way around with the right offset. I did with a 45 offset and have no rubbing at all.

I might do that as well.Although the 17x8 are half a pound lighter therefore less rotational mass.So I would save a pound total on the fronts.Although half a pound for an extra inch of width is hardly anything to fuss about.You said you run 45 offset all the way around? no rubbing.Do you have the stock suspension?
IS the car lowered? Im thinking of getting these in hyperblack.Quick question though.Do these wheels come with a polished lip or is there any kind of lip to polish? I know the wider the rim gets the larger the lip but Im not sure it applies to these rims.Maybe you guys can shed some light on this.Thanx.

I'm lowered 1.25 or 1.5 inches, I can't remember anymore, it's been so long since I put the springs in

I'd trade 1/2lb per wheel to gain an extra 1 inch of width per tire without a doubt.

There's about a 3/4-one inch lip on mine. They don't come in 17X8.5. When I bought mine 2 months ago, they didn't have 17X9 +45. I have the Zeal B2 coilover kit, so it is definitley lower than stock. +35 with 265's in the back puts it almost dead even with the rear fender lip. and the 235's +35 upfront are close too. No rubbing. I would wait a month or so on buying these wheels. There may be some other defective wheels in their inventory. But that's just my opinion. I'm having to buy another wheel, and have it sent, then they'll pay for the shipping back, and if it is in fact a defective wheel, I'll be reimbursed for the cost of the new wheel. Then I'll have to have it mounted and balanced.

thanx for the info bmac and bricke.
I was searching the net and sure enough there no such thing as a 8.5 width in 17's
I just went to a local shop that has the skyline with the fno1r-c's in bronze.They have 17x9's all around.Those wheels are friggin wide as hell.Im not sure whether I can run them all around. The one thing im afraid of is that they will not look right once I get my bodykit put on.
I was thinking of running 17x8's in the front since it looks like a tight fit already and running 17x9's in the back since for some reason the rear of our cars are wider.
Im considering the cwest front bumper with the mazdaspeed sideskirts and the c west rear bumper.
I also dont want to have the body kit dwarf the rims either.So I guess im at a bit of a dilema.I see that hey also make 17x10's now.So maybe I can run 17x9's in the front and 17x10 in the rear.
