Default NEED HELP WITH NEW WHEELS

Ok so I decided on going with these wheels. Gram Light 57 Maximum Pros



I am going to go with a 17x7 wheel. But I am going to need your guyses help choosing an offset that will fit with my big brake kit from Rotora. These are my options.

I have a set of 18x8 Axis Widetracks 50mm lip on right now. I cant lower my car any lower or else the tire will rub on the fenders. My tire and wheel stick out past my fender by about an inch. I also had to use a really thin spacer so it barely fit without rubbing.

all else being equal a 17x7 should fit with a 42mm offset. i love the look of that wheel but what kept you from the lighter volk or OZ wheels? OZ's new wheel is 17x7 and under 14lbs

I will have to look in to OZ and Volk some more just to be sure but I am almost 100% in love with these.

is the light OZ wheel. i also like the look of the grams light more these just happen to be cheaper and lighter. the volk stuff is all forged, least i think most of it is? i'd just do your homework before you go and buy. too bad you don't live around portland, a guy is selling a set of 17x7 te37s for $1200 not far from here

Make sure you take a good look at all your options, so you get exactly what you want. "Almost 100% in love." Sounds like the thoughts of my ex wife when we were married. LOL

A lot of people have suggested me to get a set of TE37s but I just dont really care that much for them. If I did go with Volks I would get the CE28N. But I have those already on my DC5.
