Default 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.

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.

your probably thinking of one with a lower offset and that would add weight. Those wheels are made for spun in that offset.
