I am dead set on getting 17X10 +45 and I plan on running a 255/40 at all four corners. Concave with a decent lip looks so damn good.

I am ordering my set through BulletProof Automotive, I was contemplating a custom color since they have to be ordered anyway - but bronze on Silverstone I think will look the best.

I'm probably in a small crowd here but I actually like the look of the 17x10 +50 more.

The 17X10 +50's do look good, slight concave with a good lip.

I agree steve, that's why I wanted a pair for the front, but over all concave and lip makes it look deeper.

The best 17 inch CE28N set-up on an AP1/2 IMO is still the 17x9.5 +35 front and 17x10 +45.
