Welp...sprung for Ace Lola's today. But I can't afford the rubber yet.
I bought them now 'cuz I know there is a limited supply. So the total deal is 4 wheels, 17"x7.5" with hub rings and lug nuts, shipping etc...$710. Reasonable? I'll probably go with Kumho Ecsta 712 225-45-17 next spring.

I should have mine Tuesday. I'm ordering tires from TR today to fit....
I am looking forward to having everything together the middle of next week. If the Lolas don't look and perform just great, I'm going to be very disappointed after this long wait!
Keep your eye on the classifieds, a set of lightly used 17" tires might turn up in your area. In the low-cost field there's also the Sumitomos and Dunlop FM-901s.
I was also looking to save some money (I have to admit the low cost was part of what attracted me to the Lolas) but because of the limited supply I went ahead and ordered a fifth wheel. It's expensive 'insurance,' but wheels often get damaged, and who knows if there will ever be any more Lolas after this run.
Drive safe,
