Sup David, man you just got you box not too long ago and you're dropping some serious money into it already? Well, go with what you like man. Sorry, I know it ain't much help but you have a difficult list to choose from. If I had the money I'd get a set of all of them and change em out every week for out meets.

Wow! You must have been reading my mind...

I have a 05 Camo Box as well, and Im going with the NF210's also! Your wheel choices are almost identical to mine when I was trying to figure out what I wanted...

I went with the Falken Hanabi in bronze...17x7.5, 42 offset up front, and 32 offset out back. They are very light, and I got a killer deal on them. I'm just trying to decide on tires and then they will be on the Box. You may want to look into these wheels if you haven't already. I'm really surprised there are not people with them...the bronze color is really something to see. It's almost like an anodized finish over a machined wheel.

Back to your dilema, I do like the Black Racing wheels, but the offset is 45mm and you will have to run H&R spacers front and rear to make it sit properly in the fender well. The 5Zigen wheels would only require a spacer in the rear, and you could go with the OneTonGarage spacers for that. As for the Track lights, I'm not sure I like them as much as the other wheels you mentioned...

For price and quality, and less of a hassle with the spacer issue, I'd go for the FN01RC's...the GN+ are real nice, but they are heavy. 5Zigen USA told me 22 lbs for those...the FN01RC's are like 17lbs...

Probably wouldn't matter if they were going on a car with a lot of power, but at a little over 105hp on the Box, you may feel the weight of heavier wheels...

Good luck on your choice and let us know what you decided on...

Not exactly...

I'm sure some of the veterans on this site will chime in and clarify, but from all the research I've read, a 17x7.5" wheel with the standard 42-45mm offset may be close to the inside suspension arm in the rear. a 17x7" with a 40mm should be fine from what I've been reading.

Again, I'd only consider the spacers if you get a 17x7.5 wheel, and it has a 45mm offset. Even at that, you'd only need a spacer in the rear...
