I got my 225/45/17 MP4S in finally, getting ready to order my 17x8 +40 BRAID Fullrace A flow formed wheels.

I'll take lots of pics.

Got my 17x8 +40 Braid Fullrace A wheels in. Hubcentric, stainless steel bolt hole inserts, flowformed, made in Europe.

They are not light. About 20 lbs, which is more than expected. But it's a tarmac rally wheel, so super strong with tons of brake clearance. I've seen a lot of expensive quality flowformed wheels bend and it's not something I want to deal with as my roads are terrible. I'm loving the look and the peace of mind. Plus the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are

.

Apologies for stock ride height...car is in between suspension set ups at the moment. RCE T2s on next week.

While they are heavy, I do like that you say they are very strong. I don't do any dirt, but do use the curbing on most of the racetracks in the PNW. Have you priced these yet?

Would prefer a 35mm offset or less. I'm running 18x8 with a 38mm offset and with -3.2 deg camber, there is ALOT of space in there to go out. Need the 17" diameter so track tires are cheaper and better selection.

Pricing depends on color and a few options. White and sometimes anthracite are standard, my regular silver was a little extra. Total for mine including shipping from Europe was about $1750 MSRP. PM me with what you're looking for and I can give you a quote. 17x8 +35 would work great.

It takes about 1 month from order to delivery as they're built to order. Not bad.

Thank you for the share.
Whatll be the optimal offset for 17x7? What offset will clear bbk? Flush?
I may have to contact you on this one. settle my wheels once and for all. I'd like to stick with 215's or (maybe) 225's.

Racecomp Engineering · 04-24-2020, 09:33 AM

Let me know. It will depend on the BBK and your goals.

17x8 with 225s is a fantastic combo...I still run them on my car.
