O R D E R E D!

I saw the price and I was expecting it to be twice as much. Everything about these wheels is perfect only thing is option of other colors like black, gunmetal, gold, etc. Two thumbs up

I like 'em. Nice wheel for those that still want to retain the overall balance of the car (between grip and slide) using 215/225 tires, but with better fitment.

Sure hope they come out with this wheel in an 18".

UPDATED: New Photos

The tires are the stock Primacy 215/45-17. I have 225/45-17 tires but I really wanted to feel any difference that a 17x8et35 might produce over the stock rims. I probably wont swap out the new tires until the spring since these only have 2,500 miles on 'em and I'll be putting winter tires on in just a few months.

Thanks to FT-86 SpeedFactory for the perfect service and communication. You have a new customer.

BTW, I know this subject comes up often so I can address it here. With the stock tires the et35 offset doesn't feel ANY different for street driving. Now mind you, I haven't driven a 300' skid pad (nor do I ever intend to), but for spirited back roads and fast exit ramps, you can not feel a difference.

Did you feel a difference in weight as its less unsprung weight 3.6LBS per corner in acceleration?

The difference is 5 lbs per wheel!

Too often with mods people will tell you that they feel/preceive what they expected. While I'm sure the car is faster (physics supports the hypothesis) it would only be measurable with the tenths scale of a stop watch. Honestly, even with 35 years of driving experience and 1,000,000 miles behind me, I can't feel 0.1 seconds of difference.

Well thats what I want to hear. I will get the wheels I want and as long they are close or just under stock ones, then I will be happy.

I just don't want to oversell the effect of lighter wheels. 0.1 or 0.2 seconds is a lot of time for a 0-60 or 1/4 mile sprint. People spend a lot of money on horsepower upgrades for that type of gain. It's not the type of gain you will feel, but it is measurable.

Taking the gains from lighter unsprung weight, plus an additional 20 or so horsepower...that is not only measureable but can be felt in almost any type of acceleration.

I just didn't want to give the impression that 5lbs off each wheel has a transformative effect.
