17" volk GT-7... what offset?

I decited I really like the look and weight on the volk gt-7
Im not intrested in the additional cost for 18s both in the rims and the tires. Im hoping to stick with 17s for cost and ride quality.

here is my problem. what offset?
Im running the stock springs and brakes. I hope to upgrade to a RZ style front brake kit in the future though.
Id like to get 17 x 9 and 17 x 10 but offset and disk sizes im not sure about.

any chance anyone has pictures of these rims in gunmetal?

Ideally, you would do:

front: 17x9, B-disk, +49 offset
rear: 17x10, B-disk, +49 offset

However, the B-disk might not clear the RZ size brake calipers, forcing you to use a 17x9, A-disk, +40 offset. A good Volk vendor should be able to help you out there.

Another option you should consider would be the SSR GT7. You can run 18x9.5 +50 offset at all four corners and they are cheaper than the Volks (and possibly lighter). SSR makes a very high quality wheel.
