nippon F-2 Racing wheels. This cheap?..

i was wondering if these are the real deal.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nippo...QQcmdZViewItem

they look like rota slipstreams and spoon rims, but are way less expensive.

$270.00+shipping for 17" set.

i am assumming they fit the FC?.

Any thoughts?..

the best setup would be to not run those wheels, they 17x7 that is junk, you are going to have no performance gains out of that. just quit being so impatient and wait and buy some quality nice wheels, theres a reason why those are so cheap. they suck

I know these are not the best rims in the world. But since I already have a nice pair of rims, and these are dirt cheap i cant pass them up. Plus i have always liked the styling of these rims they are simple. yes its true, the sizing isnt the best either, but i can live with it since these wheels will only be seeing non-performance oriented driving. Thankyou for your input.

225 / 45 / 17 would be a good fit.
