Watanabe wheels on a FD?

Does anyone know if a set of Watanabe wheels would work on a FD (probably 16" or 17") and, what are the disadvantages/advantages of their race wheels? Also, do you guys know any places in Canada or the USA to purchase them (preferably online)? And, does anyone have a pic of them on the FD (photoshopped or not) Thanks...

What type of Watanabe's are you reffering to? I wanted the cyclones the black forged magnesium, but they are like 3600 a set withoout tires. Special order from japan. E-mail wheelchoice.com and they can source the prices and availibility for you.
