Anything that's not TE-37's, 6 spoke, 10 spoke, chrome (some exceptions), or polished gold.

If I could just throw anything on, then I'd sit here and either wish that C5 18" facotyr rims fit or put on some 350Z rims.

I do like these, though...so I might do them...

RS Watanabe F8
SSR Competition
Volk TE37
Volk CE28N

To name just a few.

I've never seen a set of CE28Ns on an FC, I wonder what they look like. I know for a fact that they look incredible on FDs, but I'm not sure how they would go with the FC's much more angular body lines.

I saw a set of black painted phone dials on someone's car on here...on a red car...looked pretty slick actually. I'd stick with my 84 P-Type Supra rims, though...lol

TSW Evos, that's what's going on mine.

The split spoke wheels are a long time favorite of mine as well.

edit, and those RPM2s look excellent.

Here's what I've got on mine - American Racing Vortecs, 16x7.5. A little more class than sport, if that's what you're looking for.

I'm in the bay area too and I don't want to bite your style too much, although my car is red. Very nice look on the FC though.

Am I the only one who thinks if it's bigger than 17 it shouldn't be on a FC?

Ive liked the watanabe RS8s for awhile now, but cant find them,, went to watanabes home page and didnt see them listed, saw some on ebay a while back, 400 for 4, and they were 5 lug, those are what i want to get.
