Default Possibly good match

It's a pain trying to find wide high-offset wheels for the rear, so I thought I'd share a recent find.

http://www.tswalloywheels.com/alloy_...urburgring.php

TSW Nurburgring 17x9 +63

I'm guessing you could fit a 275/40 on the back without even rolling fenders.

Unfortunately, the narrowist rim is a 17x7.5 +45, so you might have to roll/adjust camber if you want to put meatier tires on the front.

Also doesn't hurt that they're rotary forged and only go for about $210 each.

If anyone gets a set, let us know how they turn out...

I see the set(s) available on ebay are +63.

They look pretty good but seem pricey at $1500. I'd like to know how much they weigh and if they have anything besides looks (subjective) over the 6ulr's or TR motorsports c3.

I just talked to my local America's Tire in Cali and he said that the cost from him was $175 and they weigh around 17-17.5 pounds... That sounds really good and a nice alternative to the 949 and Tirerack wheels.

I retract my statement. The $1500 price seems to be with tires.

If someone can confirm it is in fact 17lb(ish), I'm in.

Never been a huge fan of the mesh kind of looking wheels but the matte gunmetal/black could look really good, especially on a more modified one or one with a BBK.
