Default what's the deal with these wheels? does any one know???

I was looking at this site as I am contemplating getting a second pair of wheels in 17" configuration.

I ran into this:
http://www.importhookup.com/wheeloptions/special.htm

the wheels in question is:
Buddyclub P1 SF
17x7 Package Price $1395 with Kumho Ecsta 712s or Falken Azenis RS with free ground shipping.

few questions:
1) what's up with these wheels, does anyone have em? pros and cons
2) are they light, if so how much do they weight?
3) what is the correct offset for them
4) are these tires any good.

what about the package at 1395? is it any good?

thanks and sorry for so many question. This s2000 is just too much fun and always up to something new.

They look really nice, but can you run all 17x7's?

You need at min a +45 offset. The tires sizes would be to small for the rear. It's a debate between running staggered as this car was intended or running non-staggered as you would with these wheels. Some folks have reported running non-staggered with no problems and no noticable difference in handling. But I guess that also depends on their description of aggressive driving.

well, i think this place has just wheels and they are not so car oriented. Cuz u will see that their advertised price is for same size all the way around (even for other sets) and they also specify that different sizes available. I guess as soon as you tell them you want something different the price goes up. Sorta like bait and switch with a new twist. Get you interested and then sell you what you really want....

anybody smell this???
