vert wheels are small, 15x6.5, but weigh roughly 11.6pounds i believe.

So instead of ultra-light 15s, you went with 17s because they are easier to clean?

Yea i love the vert rims. I just with they were wider, then they would be awsome. Maybe like a 15 x 8 that would just be awsome.

You might consider looking for other BBS rims. I've seen that 'mesh' style BBS rims for other cars -- I would THINK there are larger sizes available and you probably will still find decent weights. Probably someone around here already done that -- might ask around or do some searches.
