Thoughts on wheel/tire combos
 
Okay...I am really struggling to make a decision on a wheel/tire combo. I plan to get back into track events, maybe once a month or every other month. I plan to get the Hankook RS3s, in 245/40/17.

So which wheels would you go with? RPF1s make the most sense, due to their reputation and weight...but I'm not too crazy about the looks. I like the OZ Ultraleggeras, but it only comes in 17x8. I've had the Team Dynamics wheels before, and really liked them.

I've always had black wheels, and plan to do the same for this car. So all of the wheels below would be in black.

OZ Ultraleggera 17x8 (17lbs)
Enkei RPF1 17x9 (16.1lbs)
Enkei RPF1 17x8 (15.6lbs)
Team Dynamics PR 1.3 17x9 (aprox 19lbs)

Thanks!

How close are you to rubbing with this setup? How much do you plan to drop it with the coilovers? I've thought about these wheels also, but I'm not crazy about the price (still a possibility though). I'd love to see some pictures now, and also when you get the coilovers done. Do you happen to have any?

Thanks!

No rubbing
KW V3 coilovers on now
Dropped about 1 3/4"
Very nice set up, no problems, looks killer
Sorry, I'm a noob to pics, can't figure it out

wouldnt a 245 be a bit big for an 8 inch wheel?

It will work but it's not optimal.
