go fast experts

Well, I have to ask this simple question for all of you that have been on here time and time again. I am sure this thread has been posted many times, but I have read that the 17 inch wheels are the fastest for the fd, however weight plays an important roll in this segment. I want 17's, but which are the lightest with the best looks... I like five stars, and various other shapes, but I really want the offset wheels, you know, the ones that don't have the center of the wheel the same level as the rim of the wheel... help me out here... which wheels??
Thanks: Brian... Single-0-Seven

go with some Volk Racing wheels. top quality and some of the lightest in the world. if all you care about is light-weight, then look at the SE series, the TE's, and the LE's. if you want a little more show, at the sacrafice of a pund or two, look into the GT series, or the Prestige III.

either way, all Volks are really lightweight, and look amazing.

hmmm.......

Sounds good, I was looking for a more chrome appeal, and I was kinda curious on price, that shows everything in yen, lol.
Other than that they look like bad *** wheels. Thanks for the quick replies. I'll start looking into volks.
