Default WOW! Check out these wheels!!!

Hey everyone,

In my search for lightweight 17" bronze wheels for my Camo xB I came across these...





Sorta cool that they have a small lip to them. Best thing is, they are 17x7.5, and you can run a staggered offset if you want, because they come in either 42 or 32mm offsets. I think the the 42mm up front and 32mm out back would be ideal. What I couldn't believe is that they only weigh 16.9 pounds!!! That, and they are only $125 each!!!

It seems like the deal of the century, but is it too good to be true? I haven't seen anyone using these...

What do you guys think?

You mean 32 all the way around? Wouldn't that be a little extreme in the front? Since I want the back to be pushed out 10mm to make the rear track even with the front, I'd have to use the 10mm onetongarage spacers out back, effectively making it a 22mm offset in the rear on a 7.5" wide wheel. Wouldn't that be a little extreme as well?

I thought of using the 42mm up front, and the 32 out back. That way, I'd have the track I want, and no need to use spacers. What do you think on that combo?

This is a tough one for me. On the one hand, the staggered offset means no use for spacers. On the other hand, if I use the spacers, I can then rotate my tires front to back...

Descisions, descisions...

i would rock 32 all around and another 5mm spacer in rear!

im running a 7.5" wide on a 30 offset with a 215 series tire..
and its still too sunken in for my taste..
im dropped 3" and it barely if even rubs. (im on 18's)
