i'm looking for some lightweight wheels to replace the heavy *** TSW revo's that the previous owner left me with. i'm not a big fan of TSW to begin with, and when i learned my 17's weigh almost 25lbs a piece without tires, i felt it was time to move on.

racing harts and volks were recommended, and while i like the racing hart cp035, i don't like how expensive they are. gold wouldn't look too bad on my arrr, but there is no way i am putting white rims on my black car. the volks are simply not my style...

here is a picture in case anyone was wondering what the hell a centerline rpm wheel looks like.



they resemble audi s4 wheels, which i like. i think this rim in black pearl would be nice... the price is right, the wheels are forged, and the 17's only weigh 13.5lbs a piece. that "centerline" sticker has got to go though.

i need a 17 to clear my big brakes.

what do you dudes think?

I've seen the silver one in on a display stand and it was nice. Billet or not that center cap needs to be replaced with something smaller or just plain removed. I don't think there are many offset options if any. The one I saw was 17x7 40p but the website from memory lists 42p which would be better.

I prefer the multispoke style but the fake bolts are a little sad looking, plus I believe they are a little heavier.

they also just released a "plain" 5 spoke wheel with has thinner spokes ( think enkei RPO1) that looks pretty nice. check that out

 

yeah, center cap needs to go. they weigh less than i though, i must have misread the weight chart. only 13.5lbs for a 17x7.

web site does indeed list 42mm offset.
