CS option available on Tire Rack again. I don't think it's the forged Traklites that they sold years ago, but it's another option!

Keep us in the loop with any others that you find!
I've got a set of Wats coming! But in 17x8 +35.

I was originally going to go with the magnesium wheels, but after reading about their tendency to break because they're more brittle; I decided not to risk it on the awful IL roads, and ordered the aluminum alloys. Not heavy, but not really light either.
