hi guys im currently using audi s3 wheels on my A3 and want a change soon A> because i want something different and B. because they weigh the same as a ocean liner carrying camels gold and spices



options i am thinking


rota force..17x8 224 45 17 et35/48

xxr 527 17x8.25 225 45 17 but et is 25 :unsure:

could go for a 235 later in tyre history on either rim i like bulge no stretch thankyou


anyone have an idea of other whees on the market in similar sizes...

im finding it hard to find decent wheel choices in these sizes
 
17x8 Rota Force in ET35 for me mate, with 225/45/17's:

And to give you an idea, these are 235/45/17's, also on a 17x8 et35 rim:

ive just seen i can get the xxr wheels in 17x8.25 in ET35 :D next issue is will they clear the LCRen need brembos hmmm also they need tuner bolts to avoid falling off

btw the forces look awsome !
 
If you want light rims, OZ Racing and Team Dynamics are forged and very strong lightweight wheels.
 
I've just ordered rota d154 in 18x8.5 and gonna be running 225/40 I'll stick a pic up when they arrive
