No original thought of your own? There are 2 other threads discussing this on the first page. Check them out. Also, the picture thread at the top of the forum has pictures.

I have the following for sale:

Enkei RPF1's (4)
Silver
17 x 7.5
Offset: 48mm
Weight: 15.2lbs
Like new perfect condition I have the boxes they came in, you will be buying almost new wheels.
$750 plus shipping.
They have the stock Michelin's mounted with 80% tread
$1050 with the Michelin's

These are optional but a good set of tires, you can find cheaper less performance oriented tires.
New Bridgestone RE-01R's (4)
215/45/17
$600 plus shipping

If you want to meet up there won't be any shipping.

Pics are what they look like:

Here are what the HFP look like but I wasn't thinking about selling them unless someone made a good offer. They have 215/45/18 Toyo Proxy 4's with 40% tread. I have a brand new set of 225/45/18 Brigdestone RE-01R's waiting to mount up but that would be extra.

How about some EP3 Type R wheels? They would look very good on your FA5:

Look online before you buy them at a dealership. You can definitely get a better deal.

Just go to their website.

They're about half the price per wheel.
