FC w/ xxr 522?

Anyone seen it done yet?
I'm trying to get a feel of what they;d look like on an FC.
I'm 4lugged, so wheel choice is limited and 5 lug is out of the question.

So I'm lookin at XXR 522's, 16x8 -0 all around.
or Rota Torques in 17x9 +30 w/ 20mm in rear and probably 10-15mm spacers in the front. (if I can find torques in 4 lug that is.)

But, I'm mainly looking for some FC's with xxr 522's in 15x8 or 16x8. (im concerned with how far the spokes will actually stick out and look on the smaller sizes.)
Post pics up if you have it done or have a picture of it being done!
Thanks!

The small 522's look like a sack of homo dix.

They are also knockoffs of origin dna 01/gp sports gravity gullflame.

Dont support that weak **** unless you get 17x9 or bigger.

Oh, nevermind. You're 4 lug........ Spend that money on better hubs/brakes and THEN worry about being a ricer....

I don't think I asked for your opinion.
I'm pretty sure I asked for pictures of 522s on fc's.
522's don't come in 4lug w/ 17x9.
Also. I don't see how putting xxr's on my car makes me a ricer.
Instead of putting out your opinion that wasnt asked for, nor cared about.
Next time you help someone w/ a similar interest in cars as yours, or don't post useless ****.
Thanks.

Well, since NOBODY has these yet.......on an fc anyway......



Big ones would look THIS awesome.



These are how YOUR sizes fit CIVIC wheel wells...which are tiny in comparison to ours. 17's look like 22's on an ek/eg civic.


I know, they are tempting at $440 shipped to your front door. If you want them, buy them.

You'll want 5 lug eventually and you'll want better wheels eventually too but if you want to settle and sell these things for a small fraction of what you paid for them in about 6 months, go for it.

Trust me, i've been there when i bought xxr 002's. Then i saw a civic buzzing through town with the same wheels and wanted to die.

which is why i was concerned of there look on an fc.
it coould be okay or hideous and ive been leaning more towards hideous.
so thanks for the pictures, even though theyre not on an fc, they still help.
im leaning more towards torques, but the +30 offset is kinda lame and they seem to be pretty hard to find in 4 lug.

Which is why you should just buy the wheels in 5 lug in good size/offset and then get a 5 lug conversion.

Seriously. You wont regret it and 4 piston calipers are awesome.

Nothing is worse than having to re-sell **** nobody wants for a fraction of what you paid because you were too quick to pull the trigger.

Torques are a good looking wheel, no doubt but 4 lug sizes in ANY decent wheel are lacking. it's been a problem in the tuner world for decades.

$200 can probably get you on that 5 lug tip.
