i think the wheels look pretty good, but you just wasted your money only going with 235s in the back.

Yeah, they look nice...the 9 x 17 with 45-mm offset will work very well with 255/40-17s with no rubbing!

Come to think of it, the RPM2s look like the Volk LE37Ks!

What do the RPM2s weigh in 9 x 17?

The 9 x 17' Enkei RPM2s probably weigh close to 19 lbs, which is similar in weight to my current SSR Integral A2's in 45-mm offset...

I love the mesh look, but I'd hate to clean them

The lazy-man in me chose a simple 5-spoke design because of the extra effort involved in cleaning mesh wheels

I got a hold of the rest of the sets from discount so let me know if any of you are interested. this wheel should be most appealing for the price.

Rishie

17,8 and 9 stagger is what I would reccommend. It will allow you to lower the vehicle. 235/45 and 255/40 would match up nicely.
