Please help me find gold faced wheels for my FC

I have been looking for months and months for the right wheel. My FC is white and I want either a gold face w. polished lip or all gold wheel.

17" diameter and good OFFSET IS A MUST. I have seen used JDM wheels and I could get them powder coated like the Work Rezaxs and what not but please post pics of nice gold wheels.

My limit is ABOUT 1500 for a 4 with no tires. thanks!

I dont mind a stretch but I need at least a 245 for traction...so no 215's on a 10" wide -15 offset kinda deal. But I do want a extreme offset that is practical.

Also I am willing to strech/pull/flare my fenders if need be.

How about I hook you up with some RPF1's and you get them powdercoated gold. They will be one offs and there's some good offsets for the FC also. You'll be within your budget with powdercoating or painting and brand new wheels.

I have considered them. The pics of your 16" FC wheels are not flush enough for my liking. Maybe its cause of the thicker sidewall on the 45 series tire. But I love the RPF1's

how wide and how flush can you get me with the RPF1's? like a 9 or 10" rim with a 245 stretched on it...I also have no problem running FG front fenders to get the right look.

i've put so many different size RPF1's on my car i don't even know which pic you looked at. But regardless if you are willing to do what you say you are then you're in the Nissan offset area.

Therefore you can do this:

RPF1:
17x9 +22, might need a small spacer to clear coils, front
17x10.0 +18 or +38

I even have 18x9.5 +15 if you want.

Let me know what offsets and i'll price this out.

Def do not want 18's my tires last about an oil change so that would be pricey.

The 17x9+22
17x10 +18 sounds like a dream.

Coilovers will be stances like we talked about. just as soon as my HKS sell.

Can the 9" fronts be run on stock fenders? or are wide fronts needed?

Ya you can do it with rolled front fenders, slight pulling. A lot will depend on camber but I've seen this done before in a +15 offset on stock FC front fenders and he was running a 255/40/17.

PM me with what tire model/brand you want to run and i'll see what tire sizes I'd recommend.
