To better isolate a wheel to present you with i'd like to find out a few questions.

1. For what kind of racing? drag, circuit, drift, autox?
2. How often will you be racing?
3. What kind of power are you producing?
4. What kind of suspension are you running?
5. What diameter are you interested in? 17" or 18"
6. Lastly, what kind of budget do you have for wheels alone?

The other important question to ask is what style suits your taste. Mesh, 5 Spoke, Multi spoke, etc...

I have pictures of wheels on some FD's here:

Many of the wheels from our site I will make a custom fitment recommendation based on your uses, power output, suspension, and budget. The link above from the ever so kind KaiFD3S, will bring you to a directory of wheels we offer. These are primarily our Japanese brands and the ones I have the most "flexibility" with on fitments.

hope this will start as a good step for ya.

Rishie, What kind of wheel is this? What is the size of the wheels and tire? Do you need wide rear fender for it?

Ok so that wheel is actually discontinued, was called the Termist S1C, similar in style to the Meister but not even close in construction. This wheel is a two piece bolted wheel/welded wheel, where half of the inner barrel is cast which is welded to the outer barrel which is spun forged. The disk is then bolted to this spun forged rim. The color is a Crystal Silver.

Got lucky on this one cause I bought a standard set for one of my FC's, and a wide *** set for my Tripoint FC. Les needed wheels fast so i was kind enough to split my set, give him the rears from the tripoint and the fronts from the standard. He had only widebodied the rear and fortunately the front spacing turned out to be perfect for his setup.

This wheel combo fitment is such, and yes it's often misprinted in magazines:

18x8.0 +33 with 225/40/18
18x11.5 +0 with 335/30/18

Yes this car will PUSH like a pig due too severe understeer but fortunately it is a show car that is VERY capable of going in a straight line, hehe i driven it.

So sadly this wheel is discontinued but fortunately we bring in the Meister S1 which is the wheel this was modeled after. The upside, the S1 is MUCH STRONGER and LIGHTER. downside is MORE EXPENSIVE. lolz.

If you browse around here you'll see several meister s1's and other wheels we have had time to photograph:

starting here on page 10 you'll begin to see several work wheels and lots of meisters. Here's an example of one:



Here's one on a FD:

You would absolutely need wider fenders for that too happen. He has 50mm fenders on that. I think they are Petit flares.
