Wondering if anyone here has them on their car?
Also wondering what people think about the 35MM offset? Will they look ok?

35mm is much better than oem wheels. Small spacers and you should be flush.

and the OP might be forced to use some spacers to get them clear the front calipers!
have not received the rims as yet, but the idea is that I want to be flush!! :)
What size spacers do you guys think I should be buying? The rim seller says that these rims will clear my calipers no problem
how much were these? (if you dont mind)

489 +85 for shipping off ebay.
I can post the link if you want. Have no idea what they will look like, but I'm guessing they might look unique.

Will these look OK on a brilliant red? "Enkei Racing PF01"
I could use simple opinions that they will not actually "detract" vs OEM.
Going for light weight but also want "tough" (something the O.Z. Ultraleggera lack). These hit near 18lbs (for 17x8.5) @$250ea
As before, I'm staying 17", and shoeing with Bridgestone RE-11s.
Thanks

dude, those would look good on any color

I'm hoping so......
The sad truth is that I bought rims a few years back that looked great online, but were totally wrong once I put them on the car[rolleyes]. Had to pull them off and go back to OEM 'cause I just couldn't stand the look of what I bought.[headbang]
The fiasco showed me my taste at the time was not quite in tune with the car yet, so now I try to listen to others thoughts rather than just shooting from the hip.

except in 17.. they would look GREAT in 18
and hooray for ebay rims, hope you don't go over a speed bump, they might not make it

true for both statements

Is there a better 17" option? Wanted Team Dynamics Racing Pro Race 1.2, but the company fails to answer even a single email, so I wrote them off.
Must have light weight and strong, but within a budget. (Even the Enkie is pushing my limits.)
