Just picked them up yesterday for $650CAD with tires.
Right now the tires are 205/40/R17... Would like to try some 225's on but not sure if they will fit with my 40mm offset. Rims are 17x7..
Let me know what you think.. I love them..

 

I think looks wise they set off your car very nicely. The polished rims around darker(gunmetal?) spokes works for you. cool.

 

ooohhhh, those look very sexy!!
congrats

Not exactly my taste, but they look very nice on your car. Carl

 

Looks pretty good.

 

That size tire should work as long as you have stock style struts and springs.

looks great, i dont usually go for dark rims, but with a black car looks very hot

 

Thanks guys... Yes i'm gonna pick up some 225/45/R17 tires, just as soon as i decide on what tire. I'm leaning towards the Yokohama AVS Sport's right now or the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712's.... Just looking for something that can handle some decent turns once a whaile and doesn't wear to bad.

 

I love my Falken FK-451's. I was looking at ES100's, Supra 712 and the like and I decided after lots of research that the 451's were the best value. They stick well, they don't wear too fast, they can handle track driving witout problems and they're inexpensive (the Khumos are alot cheaper but are inferior tires). Sport Auto, a german mag, tested them against many other similiar tires and they placed second only to the much more expensive Dunlop SP-9000.

 

AVS sports are way pricier than those kumhos, which i would avoid like the plague, btw. maybe you meant es100s? i recommend those for your application.

Car looks sharp on those wheels

 

Good choice man...Matches the car well....Hmmm...I want a second gen (in addition to the FD that is)

 

Nice color, but I'm not a fan of the Universal Lug rims.

 

looks good...

 

I think the rims are nice, but the car could use some lowering action..

 

What do you boy's suggest i get to get rid of this ugly fender gap?

 

Get properly sized tires first, that'll make a big difference, then see how much lower you want to go.

 

Nice rims! I love the color!

 

What would properly sized tires be? 225/45/R17?
Or should I stick with 205 width?

 

225/45/17 is a proper size, but so is 215/45/17 and so is 205/45/17 and 205/50/17. Tire choice is a personal thing, the 205 will be cheaper, but will grip less, but will be less likely to rub, it's up to you.

 

If you check out the Canadian Forum for sale section a member has some fantastic deals on brand new Pirelli P-zeros in various sizes, maybe too good to miss but you would have to factor in shipping from Ontario to BC.

 

Check out http://www.tiretrends.com/. They have great service and low prces. Once you figure out the tires you want print out their price and take it around to some local places to see if they'll match the price, and then you don't have to pay for shipping.

As for tires, don't skimp, they are the only thing that connects the car to the road. As for me, I like my Falken FK-451's, they should last a while, are fairly sticky and are relatively cheap.

 

very nice -- I like that look...
