I have a set in 17x8 et48 dark grey finish with 225/45/17 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
I use them on track and have done about 10 track days.
They have been fine so far, no bends or cracks. Haven't noticed any rock chips in the finish either.
Paired with the Michelin tires the wheels required minimal weights to balance.
I would prefer a lower offset, 45 or 43 would have been nice to help clear the front shock absorber on stock suspension with camber bolts. If I want to run a 235 or 245 section tire I will have to use a set of 3mm or 5mm spacers.

I'm semi interested, looking for some NT03's but I want something in 17x9, it looks like the +40 will provide some concave features on the face and it looks like I need to be considerate of offset... but now that these are 2 years old, I wonder if they are still around...
