Light, wide wheels with good fitment
I'm thinking about wheels and could not give a damn what they look like.
Requirements: 17 or 18 inches diameter 9 or 9.5 inches wide Offset around +40 Obviously bore of 56.1 Target weight around 8kg. Anyone know what fits the criteria? |

The problem at this stage is the lack of off the shelf 5x100 wheels for anything bigger than 18x8.
but it's gonna change when the car releases. i guess we should all be patient. i'm planning to go 17 or 18 x 8 front and x 9 rear. not sure what offset will be best due to the limited info released. bore is not an issue as you can just get those hub rings. |

That's all true and obviously why I posted the thread.
There isn't much out there now, but I know there's more than nothing. It's just hard to find the info and if they have to be custom made, I'll have to order them now. |

But the thing is, we don't know how much offset we need to fill the guards. I'd wait till April when the Japanese gets their cars and starts changing wheels.

I could care less about filling guards.
I've had someone measure one and know what will fit, I just have to find them. |
