FD3S rims

I recently bent one of my chromed '97 SE 16s, and it's going to be up to $275 to get it trued.

So, obviously, I'm looking into alternatives. I don't like the looks of the 300zx rims at ALL, but FD3S look decent (well, a little better than Z32 rims...) and are dirt light to boot. They're 16*8 (I've read they're actually closer to 8.75" wide...) and bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3, so they should fit over the hubs... I've found a set for $300 + shipping. I've heard they're rather wide though. Would OEM FD3S rims + tires fit without rubbing too much (or fit at all?) on a 4th gen? I'm lowered on Progress springs.

I'm looking for offset and such now, but I need to act fast. Thanks for any help. =)

EDIT: Apparently they have a +50mm offset... sounds a bit off...

I was just about to post about the offset but you beat me to it.

Some 10mm wheel spacers should fix that right up though.

Hooooly crap, is it just me or are spacers riDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE?

How can I get a set for less than half the cost of the wheels? I'm on a very strict budget here...

Okay, I just found a set of stock SE 16s for $150... never mind I guess. =\

Feels like a bit of a downgrade, but at least I can still drive.

Anyone wanna buy a set of chromed factory SE 16s? Almost good condition...
