Recommend me a 17x9
I'm looking for a semi light 17x9 or wider wheel for 5x100.
The rota dpt and torque r are nice but in the end I don't think I really want rotas. I like the work emotion cr kai but it's a bit heavy especially compared to my 17x8 rpf1. I plan on running 255s, I'm already running a decent amount of camber and fenders are rolled. Any recommendations? Price is a factor as I would rather not drop like 2000 on wheels alone

I did alot of searching and found the dpt's to be the best bang for the buck in this size for 5 x 100

your price limits you to... not much besides rotas. maybe a used set of rpf1's, but im not 100% they come that wide.

rota is really your only option, although 17x8.5 which also will work has A TON |

Ok what are some nice 17x8.5s?
What downsides does running a 255/40 on my 17x8 have? Aside from a slight bubble how will handling be affected? I will most likely use Dunlop star specs |

I wouldnt. +44 is a ****ton better offset for a 9in wheel. Dont get me wrong I have rotas and dont have a bad thing to say about them but that wheel is a better wheel for someone that wants to fit tire.
Now if your wanting the whole hardparking look at my rimz be poken out my fendar weels look they yeah the +30 is better. |
