Weight is key for me...so for next spring I'm leaning towards these choices:

5 Zigen fno1rc 17X9
Volk TE37 or CE37 in 17X9 or 17X8.5
Enkei RPF1 in 17X9 or 17X8.5

I wish I weighed them before I slapped 'em on (and will when I remove them), but they are at least several pounds lighter than the stock BBS forged with stock tires (and this is a 18x8.5 with 235/40 tires). Should make cleaning easier tho . Anyone rocking the Rays G-games rims (or do they make them in our fitment)? I think those look pretty hawt
Those look awesome, they make them in gold?? $???

I think they might have them in gold, but I didn't check. YOur best bet would be to call Vick at e-wheelz.com (which in actuality is their offshoot of Discount Tire in LA area) and talk to him. As far as $$ paid, let's just say it was around 3 large (with free shipping), but that included some Rays' Duraluminum lugs and Toyo T1R's in 235/40/18's. If I had to do it over again, I'd skip the lugs (or go with McGard's splines) and just spring extra for a set of Goodyear Eagles G3's...

Are you using your stock lugnuts with those? I think you might need tuner lugnuts so they seat better...

No, I haven't tried fitting the stock center caps on there yet. I did find a set of ASA center caps that my friends dad had that were brand new in the box sitting in his garage that fit just fine. And the little bit of gold on them sorta matches the gold on the Brembos. They don't look half bad. I'll post some pics when I get home from CA.

I am still waiting for the correct Enkei ones that have been on backorder for 6 months though.

just to clarify, enkei no longer makes the rpf1 in 17x9 that clears brembos. The 17x8.5 is a 40mm offset, which is kind of on the outward side......best bet is the volks or 5zigens.
