which Wheels For My Fd

I have found two wheels that I can get hold of for my black fd3s but I can't decide which ones to chose from. Please help?

What size do you plan on running?

I would bet that with the correct FD offsets, you are not going to have that big of a lip, as in the pic of the first one.

I think both are really nice looking. I am leaning more towards the second.

Could you give us a link to that brand, so we could see what offsets and sizes they provide for those rims?

edit: Nevermind, found it.

At the weekend I destroyed my n/s/r wheel and I cant find one anywere, so I have had to look for a new set and these are what I can get hold of strait away.

The ones on the left will be in 18" and the hole package will be £1400 and they look wicked.

But the ones on the right will be in 17" and only cost me £650 because I have some tyres that will fit but I am not shore if they will look good on my fd.

Its an exspensive gamble.

Has any one got any pics of similar wheels on their cars?

on the first choice, you don't have good offset selection on them. The second one you have a offset option that will work but is only 7" wide which is a step back from the factory wheels.

I love the wheels on FD Reys red rx7. but I cant find many wheels over in england. im having to cycle to work every day and its always f**king raining in the UK, ive got to buy a new set of rims by the end of the week.
Has any one got any good ideas of what else I could go for?

Take a look at my bent wheel

Neither of those wheels have any sizing/offset selections that will work with an FD.

Exactly, just as Ryn said it. Give up on those options they are a no go. You won't have a good wheel seutp for the FD.

On a second note those wheels are not ultralite. Those are simply replica wheels. I recognize the designs and offsets. Here you can find them as MB Motoring wheels on disocunt tire, for the 5 spoke one. THe other i do believe is an ADR, exactly same mold and wheel.
