Not bad for free wheels

Got this set of wheels given to me a few months ago. I didn't want to put them on because they are 17s but now that they are on I think they don't look half bad. What do you think?

Not bad looking wheels... I would use them as winter rims.

For free is always a win

A buddy has some like these just for track days. But the winter set idea is great too.

I presume they are your winter wheels... If so, then you got a great deal.

If they are replacing your R3 wheels permanently, then we need to talk.

I'm with everyone else. Good for winters/track. Bad for replacements

Oh god no I'm not replacing the r3 wheels! Quite the opposite. Just as suspected they are for winter. I absolutely LOVE the r3 wheels and cringe at the idea of curbing them on a slippery winter day.

The motive behind putting them on was only that my winter beater crapped out and had to drag the 8 out of winter storage. I had initially intended on saving them for when my autocross level progresses to a point that I will run racing slicks.

FN01r-c's?

Great track wheels. Light weight, strong (enough), and inexpensive to replace.

Then again, they may just be a similar looking wheel. Either way, don't look half bad in my opinion.

Nope. Just cheap knock-offs. They say "HD Tuning" on one of the spokes. They will be for sale soon though cuz they are too narrow.
