Default Offset?

hi all
first of all....
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

just a quick question, is it true the offset on an ap1 is 50??
gonna get some new rims in jan, but ive heard 50 offset is hard to match on after market wheels, this true?
seen some wheels at 47 and 52
would 18"s 7.5 between 47 and 52 offset be ok to go straight on?
regards, Ben

Rims??

Id like to know the limits in terms of offset for 17"

It is true that they are harder to come by than most cars, and good ones (ie forged and lightweight) are bloody expensive.

BBS and OZ Superleggerera's are popular at the less costly end, and stuff like Volks / Mugen wheels are astronomical!

Stocky are you sure.
They seem a litte low to me.

One of the best set ups with as near OEM offsets as you can get is detailed in my sig.
