Below are some pictures of the wheels. They are 22lb each and are under $200 per wheel. Seems like a good bang for the buck... Click on the link to take a look at the wheels ad let me know what you think!!!

Also, any experiences with enkei would be much appreaciated!<ul><li><a href="http://www.ad-speed.com/wheels/enkei/rpo1.html">http://www.ad-speed.com/wheels/enkei/rpo1.html</a></li></ul>

Default Exactly who I was going to mention...

The Schotz's were running those wheels in a 17 x 8 on their S4 with 255/40/17 Kumhos. I remember them saying that they needed a 1/16" spacer to get the wheel to clear the front calipers when the pads were fairly new.

I run 17 x 8 ET35mm OZ wheels with 255/40/17 Kumhos at the track, too.

Default Which OZ's are you using? Also, do you have any pictures with the 255/40/17 setup

I was thinking 245/40/17 would be a easier fit... What is your take on that?
