What offset did you buy? And will you take some pictures of the concavity? I was looking at buying the 17x8.25 +19

Def. Interested to see what the 550's 17x8.25 look like on the car. Just placed an order for the flat black ones.

Yes, please do. At the very least we'd be able to compare them to a set of +19 when someone gets those.

I made the mistake of getting a set of cast wheels on my RSX-S because they looked nice...
Never again. They were so heavy it killed all my performance upgrades, took em off after 3 weeks, and they have been sitting in the garage ever since. Save your money till you can get decent weight wheels.

17" xxrs don't weigh much more than stock wheels

Does anyone know if any other openended lug nuts fit xxr wheels other than muteki? I've been looking and no one has confirmed another brand. The muteki seem to have paint issues so I'm looking for a better quality product. Been looking at mishimotos new lugs but not sure if they will fit.....

pre-ordered the 552's in 18x8.5 +36 a few days ago from Next Level Motoring...was about $580 tax included. Can't wait till they're available

*Anyone ever try running 245/40/18 on an 8.5" rim? I've heard a ton of mixed opinions on this. Mostly concerned about the side walls.
