those are 15 x 6.5 mate..

17x8.5 are 13.97 lbs which is awesome but damn those offset figures suck for 5x100s!!

This will be my last post on this thread, just because I'm sure the OP doesn't appreciate this mess that was started because of you calling me out. Regardless, I never said TSW was the same QUALITY as BBS or Advan... I simply claimed, it's the same manufacturing process. Please re-read my message, if you have any questions or would like to continue this conversation, I will make myself 100% free to answer your questions over PM or you can call me. I've been doing this for a decade, I'm pretty sure I'm well aware of how wheels are made.

Thank you for understanding. OP: sorry that your thread got pooped on, I'm sure it wasn't his intention, nor was it mine. Good luck on finding your wheels

$250/corner. If you mess them up...you could buy three sets of Mach V Awesome for the price of a set of Volks. How much is the 4 lbs per corner the Volks weigh less worth to you? Personally not a 5 spoke fan, so I passed on these.

Volk CE28N in 17x9.0 +43 are a bit more than I wanted to shell out..

seems they would still be considered lighter and stronger than Tc105n,(th the post above shows them being VERY light!)
but they probably cost more than Tc105n too

Notice how the Porsche caliper and disc fill up the wheel? That's the only way 5 spoke wheels look good. It's a CGT ffs...

i know a rpf1 17x9 +45 will not clear the BBK calipers, but would the 17x9 +35?

Nope apparently still need an 8mm spacer otherwise I would have them in that size in a heartbeat

SO, thats pretty exciting
the template I sent Dan at mach V was of the ENDURANCE template...FYI!

seem it is the only wheel known to date that will allow me to fit the endurance kit with no spacers

is this a uncontested champion I am looking at?
has this been tested for high traction rubbertrack use?
where is it made?
warranty?

Looks like it?

has this been tested for high traction rubbertrack use?

Hmm. Rubbertrack?

where is it made?

Asia, like most every cast or flow-formed wheel on the market.

warranty?

Yup.

The Mach V also require no hub rings, since they have a Subaru center bore.

These are 100% the wheels I will get, when I can pony up the cash.

There is some travel and adventurous stuff I want to do more than spend money on mods (for now).

Holy hell that OP was terribly written...

[Captain Insano]

Great thread. I keep wondering the same topics you are starting threads about OP. I am looking at AP sprint kit and this thread gave me lots of good ideas for my goals.
