Opinions on these wheels
Was checking out these rims on A&J's site and I'm not sure about fitiment.
First up:
17x7.5 +48offset. Forged. Only 13lbs!! Same dimensions as my Rota's so I'm pretty sure they'll fit. $328 each.
Next up:
17x8 +40offset. Cast version of the above rims. Avail. in silver or the pictured bronze. $220 each. Doesn't say if the weight is the same.
And last:
17x8 +43offset. Based on the price I'd say they're cast. $192 each. Doesn't say the weight.
I'm not sure about the 17x8 size or the offset. Think it'll rub? Too wide for the ITR?
These will be my street rims. If I ever get off my *** and start tracking my car I have my stockers for that.
I will be calling A&J tomorrow to inquire but I thought I'd see what the R crowd thinks.
All comments/opinions welcome. TIA

Final Speed wheels. Manufactured by SSR.
Forged wheels rock. 17x8 will fit fine.
215-40-17 is optimum because the wheel would be wider than the tire if you chose the 205-40-1 route.
The top 2 pictures are the same wheels MOOFX runs.

It's nice to have bling wheels... But honestly It does not pay unless someone else is paying for them (sponsor).
You could save a ton of money by picking up some "normal" size rims like 16x7 for street use and then 15x7 for track. And not to mention tires will be cheaper.
Stock wheels IMHO are just too small for any decent tire to track with. Many people do, but a used set of Kosei K1s can be pretty cheap and Tires that you would use on the stock rims like 205 or 225 would most likely work better on the 1inch wider rim.
Bling on the street in my eyes could be better spent on needed items such as paying Ins, getting it tuned or just paying for HPDEs.
Words of a cheap man
but practical.

I feel ya Rob. I was looking at 16x7 Volk CE28N's but they are fairly pricey. The only one that's expensive in my list is the forged version. The other two are very reasonable.
Kosei K1's only come in white now and I'd have to rattle can them black to make them work. Slips are next to impossible to find in 15x7. Looked at many other 15inch rims but if I liked them they were pricey, if they were reasonable I didn't like them. Guess I'm picky
Thank you for your insight though

My Rota's are the same size and offset and they fit fine.
It's the second two that concerned me due to the 17x8 size. But appartently they're fine according to migs
