I'm thinking about getting rims for the FC... Any suggestions on what looks/handles the best, ie size, width, etc...

i had 5Zigen FN01R-C on my 89, 18x8 on front, 18x9 on rear. i wish i still had them, but im getting another set for my 91, exactly the same.

however, if you have 4 lugs, i dont really know what is available.

I'm with him.



For me, the best wheels are inexpensive, and reasonably light. That being said, it's hard to beat the Mustang GT wheels, for 5 lug anyway.

I am pretty sure that they make fn01r-c's in 4 lug nowadays... My friend Mike had some bronze ones if I am not mistaken. I am still a huge fan of the Volk TE37 personally, and think they work (asthetically) on most any compact car.

If you can find Regamesters Evo's(If I can spell it) I think those are also dope. I am not sure they are producing them anymore. Anyone know?
