What's your budget, what size are you looking for, and what do you use your car for?

The 5Zigen FN01RC, while very commonly used by 3/S owners, remains one of the best budget wheels available. Prices are 700-850 for a set (general numbers; haven't checked the exact prices in a while), weight is relatively low, and the sizes are very sensible: 17x9, 18x9, 17x10, etc.

There are lighter wheels, and there are perhaps wheels with a slightly more suitable offset, but I have a hard time recommending anything else to someone who's just looking for a solid wheel upgrade.

My Budget.. I don't really want to go over 2k mark. Looking for 18x8.5 or 9. Like I said I don't want them to stick out, so I think +36 offset is the lowest I can go , atleast in the front. I like the 5Zigen FN01RC, but I'm not sure if in bronze it's going to look good on my car. Can't decide what color...

i just picked up a set of ssr gt2s on here, they are not made anymore but look really good and will fit over my brembo big brake kit. They are 18x9.5 and fit 275 bfg drag radials. the wheels themselves weigh like 19 pounds or so.

Bronze FN01R-Cs would looks pretty weird on red. I'd recommend the hyperblack or that one with the polished lip with gunmetal spokes.

You looking to buy rims and tires for 2gs?
