Man these wheels have a nice touch to them! We have 1 last set of Gun Blue, If anyone is interested!

Ugh, if the Weds weren't so much lighter, these would be my first choice! So nice looking!

How much do these weigh? and vs the 18x9.5s?

The 18x9.5s are 21.5 lbs, I'm guessing these are around 19-20 lbs

So no clearance issues? Do you know if you can fit a bbk? Seems perfect to settle the +45 +35 debate I'm having with myself.

Does anyone know any retailers I can find 17x9s at?

I got mine from MengMotorsports, Speedelement should be able to order them as well. They're both local

What tire size are most of you guys running? I just picked up a set and im considering a 225/235. Yes it will be a little stretched but I think it would look the best. Suggestions or experience on the matter? pics of a non 245 set up?

Why don't you want 245/40/17. That's the best size for 17x9 on this car IMO.

Agreed with Blaine, 245/40 is probably the most functional setup without being too stretched. Although 255 is perfect fitment for this wheel, its a little too much rubber for how much power this car puts out. Go for 255/40 if you like the meaty look

Like I said I like the medium stretched tire look. 245 is just a little too meaty for what i want currently. Was hoping for someone who has pictures of our car with 235/40 and or lower size just to see what it would look like. Ive found a few pics of 235/40 on s2000's but nothing for our cars. Im simply interested in exploring options a little.

Most likely will end up with 235/40

What are you lowered on, and if you could share the camber specs? I just like the way your car sits on those 17 extremes

RCE tarmac 0, -3 camber front -2 rear. Thats more of a track alignment, might be too aggressive for a street car

Did you have any rubbing issue with 255's? I was thinking of getting Eibach Sportlines and the same wheels and tire specs like yours. Could you post more pictures of your car?
