Looks like the car has a wide arse.... er I mean arch (damn freudian slips...) kit on though so you may find the offset won\'t suit a standard FD. They certainly are very deep dish wheels.

They will almost certainly be too narrow (and have a Halfords image lol).  If you want proper wheels, which you do, then your going to have to pay decent money.  Its also hard to get proper wheels which arnt from Japan as they are mostly too narrow and with bad offsets from here.

Some pointless information;

The guy who owns RO_JA can be seen in "The fast and the furious" at the first race, he is the guy sat in the bright yellow MR2 turbo playing Gran Turismo.

Cheers for the helpguys. I actually spoted the Fox RS 5\'s in my seach and liked them. I will see if I can get them wide enough.

Others I liked include:

LG 164 CENTURA

AroSpeed RS GT
(http://smartcar.widagroup.net/images/ww/L_RSGT.jpg)

Failing that any other suggestions? Looking for big but without arch mods, but still nice and wide.

cheers guys, the helps appreciated, the wheels are crucial to the look of the car and I don\'t want to make a big mistake.

You can still run pretty big without arch mods.  10 inch on the rear is fine, in pretty sure Ive got 10 on the front too but a 9 might be better.

These other wheels should meet approval as well seeing as they are made by Rays for RO_JA
