Lightweight 17's that don't look like ***...

Can anybody suggest some that are on the cheaper side? That pretty much rules out anything that's Volk.

Basically, you are looking at the 5Zigen line then. Either their Pro Racer GN+:

or FN01R-Cs:

Enkei RPF1s aren't too expensive, and Rishie has them in stock and ready to ship. (I don't work for AutoRnD or anything, I just love those wheels and saw them in Rishie's shop the other day.)

Those FN01R-Cs might be the ticket. I dropped by the buddyclub lightweight rim GB, but they're simply too expensive for me right now.

I have a buddy using the FN01R-C's for a track rim and he's no amateur. They are holding up just fine so they are also strong.

I really like the FN01R-C's a lot. I've been thinking about picking up a set of the 18x10s through Gotham......

I have no idea what I need when it comes to offset. I've read so many different offsets, and mine's got the Eibach Pro Kit on it, so I guess that factors into it somehow too? I'll have to find a "how stuff works" on it.

Enkei Wheels.

If its only a track wheel get the 5zigens, but i personally think those wheels look like *** and everyone and their mom has one.

Well if you go into the suspension forum and listen to me, Rishie (AutoRND), Ptrhahn, or Mahjik, you'll get the correct offsets. If you want your wheels to stick out past the fenders, you can listen to others....

How about the 99spec 5 spoke wheels?? Perfect fit and very light weight! Plus they won't break the bank...

Lates,

I honestly don't like the '99s, the spokes are too wide for my tastes. I'd get the RE Amemiya rims before I got those.

If you let 'other' people mod your car for you, then you'll never be happy with 'your' car. Get whatever parts you want for 'your' car regardless of what other people think or have on their car.

They're not exactly lightweight, but they're strong as hell, and they definitely get a big thumbs up from all the viper/porsche/ferrari guys I've come upon.
