Are they just so expensive($600-800 wheel!) cause they are forged & hella light? Using Buddy Clubs claimed weights converted, an 18/10 is only 16.13lbs?? 17/9's are about 14.5lbs!

What is the reputation motorsports wise on these? I assume price keeps them off alot of cars?

ChrisW has these and has autocrossed on them (17x9s) for a full season I think. He seemed pretty happy with them.

I have the buddy clubs. I run the 17x9 + 35mm which requires at least a 3mm spacer to clear the brembos.

These rims are awesome! well worth the price I paid (used). Talk to Gruppe-S I believe they can special order them. 500whp is supposed to be a vendor, but I am not sure if they keep them in stock.

Crisw: man that wheel is close to the caliper! At least something minimal like a 3-4mm spacer shouldnt require longer studs? ? (The CCW combo needs longer studs up front)

dude... that pic already has a 3mm spacer :shock: The studs are long enough to handle the current spacer, but I do want to go a little wider.

I am getting larger spacers (5mm), I have all the studs, open ended lugs for the stock rims, but don't have a space to work on the car at the momment...

There are other pics available off of www.sportscarimage.com, I don't have a gallary ready for display at this time.
