the enkeis in 17" are less than $1000 a set. i dont know if they make the exact size you want but still, the point is you can get high quality rims for a good price if you look around.

Spend $25 000 on a car to buy $1000 wheels. Whats the point?

You're better off keeping your OEM wheels lolol.

To me the point is to reduce rotating mass and unsprung weight, and to possibly get a bigger contact patch. To some people the motivation is also about aesthetics as they like the look of aftermarket options more than the OEM; personalizes the look of their car a bit.

edit: Re-reading the thread, rL-gT: Are you implying that $1000 is to little to spend on wheels for a $25,000 car? Hell I don't get people that spend $3000 on wheels on Porsches or Corvettes either when excellent wheels can be had for $1000. I just got back from SEMA and the number of "bling" wheels on display in both manufacturer's booths and on display cars was silly. Enkei has some nice new designs as does a few other manufacturers.

No no. $1000 is fine for a good used set of wheels.

Not really gonna find good new quality stuff for Under $1000... and I dont think we really need to get into the whole "why you shouldnt buy Rotas"

(RPF1s go for around $1200ish, Amazing price)

But I do love big lightweight wheels.

Just because this car has 5x100 does not mean there are other prototypes running 5x114...

Until a production car is released we won't know. It's not in the specs that was released earlier this week.

If a 5x114 was available, why would they use 5x100 for racing?
