Wheel opinions for my car
You may say this has already been answered but my question is specific because I'm currently torn between 3 local wheel deals available at the same price. I'm competing in autocross STX.
Here's my car. Lowered 1 inch on Cusco coil overs with the CTSV BBK kit. Wheel A : 17x9 +35 Rpf1 15.6 lbs Wheel B : 17x9 +42 Mach V Awesome 17.8 lbs Wheel C : 17x9 +42 Apex Arc 8 17.8 lbs Gonna throw new 245 tires. The choice is yours. Appreciate the advice!

Sorry for offtopic, but what hood vents those are?
For wheels i'd go whichever lightest (A). Looks to me always secondary. |

Go with whatever is lightest. Or find the balance between weight and price. If they're all the same, then obviously go with RPF1's. Hundreds of twin owners can't be wrong.

Only question now is, will you fit 245 rubber on +35 offset without rubbing? You running any camber adjustment or is that not allowed in stx? I looked at the rules a while back but i forget, just no solid links right? Crash bolts ok? Factory available so i would guess yas.
I just saw a set of fully stock dimension rpf01 for sale with pilot sports on them. Seems like an auto xers dream.
