Looking for wheel/tire suggestions. So far, I'm deciding between silver RPF-1 +35, TSW Nurburgrings (bronze or gunmetal?) +35, or Konig Dekagrams +40. All in 17x8.
I was thinking about getting 235/40 or 235/45 tires to go with them.

I’ve spent 40 yrs commuting into Montreal. That place is bad for your wheels, Suspension & your car ownership sanity as a whole! Next step up from there would be a rally…
I avoid it with my BRZ stock drop & wheels (I scrape with my stock GD3)!
Managed to flatten some 15” steelies & warp mags on previous vehicles and sometimes doing unwanted stunts that should have required a pilot’s licence… you don’t always have the option to avoid the craters.
If you to do some track I would advise a second Wheel set just for that with the Tire /Wheel combo you want/need/afford. Bigger wheel & tire size is more weight a disadvantage on a track but nice to look at…
I will let the track rats advise you for best tire size for track use.
If you use your vehicle as a daily there I would recommend the meatiest sidewall if you want to keep your wheels a few years.
Nice action pick at Sanair, Is that place still open it was bad back in the 90’s?
