Ok, as some of you know, my wheels are a 9j with +17 offset and stick out past my arches, so much so that on my way to the D1 last weekend i got in trouble with the Police and was given 7days to change them, so at the moment i am running S14 stock wheels untill i get new wheels.

I really want Works Emotions again, in bronze again -



However i also like Rota GTR's - Clicky :wave:

Some Utralites -






Even once i decide on which wheels, the question then is, 17s or 18s??

Some help and opinions would be appreciated :thumbs:

I've always liked the Ultralite 7 spokes. 18s would be my choice, but 17s are fine.
Have Ultralite started doing more widths and offsets? When I got mine the 17's were only available in 7 inch widths with :ghey: civic offsets

I'm sure they do those in 18s with a good offset. Apex sell them...
Yep the 18's are ok its just the 17's which I think are narrower and crappy offsets.

Toyos in 18's are only ?105 a corner not too much more than a 17 inch tyre. :D

Bridgestones are scary in the wet though.

I got in trouble for putting that on here :mad: :nod:

So will 17s with a real offset be lost in the arches?? No-one got 17s on here?

In answer to the original post ;)

Topper, I'd either go with the emotions again OR, the 7 spoke Ultralites or the bronze multi-spoke ultralites you posted. That narrows it down to 3!

Yakozan, I like the one's you posted too - go for it!

Nicely, blingin 20" wheels need to be added to the swear list... can you arrange? :p
