Pretty popular choice; I see lotsa Civics w/them nowadays. Affordable, compared to what I have. Get some locks on them.

They are a great choice. Lightweight and affordable since they're cast.

The fn01r is forged (stronger, lighter and more expensive) and the fn01r-c is cast.

I will be running 245/45/ZR 17 XL (extra load 99 rating), shaved to 4/32" for autocross and track use...

The tires I'm using (Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212) suggest that an 8" rim is the "optimal size" for that size tire.

225's will look skinny on an 8" rim....my stock 17x7's came with 225 tires.
