spoke design are practically the same minus the fact that you can get 4 disc faces with work. custom offsets etc etc.

we wont go into it.

they are quite similar though.

+45 is a good one too for an 8.5" wheel

Below is a pic on our '06 in Rally Gold.

oooo those p521 wheels are purdy and fill up the wheel well so nicely. I want to go 18's b/c my 17's looks so small... I just want to make the right choice on the set of wheels

you did choose one of the smallest looking 17s out there.

right next to the RPF1.

I hear you with wanting to make the right decision.

what other wheels are you interested in? how much do you want to spend?

well the only issue with the "Up to 2k" mark is that there aren't alot of new wheels that fall between 1800 and 2000. it seems there is 1500-1800 then 2200-2500, unless you find a deal in the vendor classifieds.

a set of Advan RG's would be very hot, they have a very good offset too.

there is a group buy for the 57f currently in 18x8.5 +45mm WorldOne is hosting it. You should check it out, if you like the 57f the price will sell you considering they are ~580 a pop retail.
