Those look nice, and they are forged (light+strong). I'm not a huge fan of chrome, but those are nice looking wheels.



I just looked on the CenterlineWheels site and they are only available with 5.5" of backspacing. That should be about 5.5 - (8+1.125)/2 ~= +24mm offset, which may be less than you want for the FD (stock is +50mm). That isn't an absolute sentence to rub (my track wheels stick out just as far as those would 10" wide +50mm offset), but you would need to be very careful with tire diameters in front to minimize the chances of rubbing. Moving the center of the tire out that far might have a negative effect on how the car feels when driving. And personally, I wouldn't spend money to upgrade the wheels without going wider.

I prefer polished aluminum over chrome, but nice design!

D'oh! I didn't see the +38mm offset part the first time. That should be fine on the FD.
