Any that can give me info on these? I am definatly interested in a set of SA-90s in Bronze.

Also, tire rack said 205/225 for suggested. Insn't this a little thin for 17x7.5 and 17x9? I would like to run some wider tires on these.

Thanks for any info you can give me!

Good choice. I know AJ sells the cast SA90s with this offset:

17x7.5 +43 front
17x8.0 +45 rear

I had this set 6 months ago and really liked them. They clear Spoon and Brembos with no spacers and clear Endless with a 5 mm spacer.

Anyway you can go with a 215/45/17 front and a 245/40/17 rear.

Thats what I would go with.

The ones on tire rack are

17x7.5 front
17x9 rear

hmm, isn't 9 a bit wide for the rear?

edit: wow, I checked these on AJR and these are really cheap. Why don't I see these on more S2K's? lol. I am guessing these are way heavy or something?

The wheels we will carry will be 17X7.5 ET50 and 17X9 ET55. They are due into us the end of August. I don't have the weights of the wheels at this time. As soon as they come in we will weigh them.
If I can help let me know.

Keep in mind the SA90s AJR carries are cast, while the ones at TireRack are forged. The forged SA90s should be considerably lighter. My friend has a set of forged 19" SA90s on his G35C and they are VERY light for their size (19x10.5 rears are 19lbs). I'd love to get a set of the forged SA90s from TireRack if I had the money, but I'd paint them silver.
