I get about three PM's a week on these wheels and since it looks like my sponsorship with KMC might be going through so I'm going to sell these ASAP upon delivery of new package. Should be within 10 days. Here are the specs:

Bought about two months ago. Less than 1K miles on the combo.
Nippon Racing Lightstars 17x7.5, 40 offset
Weight 14.7-lbs

Yokohama Parada Spec 2 205/45/17
Nitto 555 225/40/17

Please note, these tires run about .7 inches SMALLER than stock so your final
drive lowers to around 4.29-ish which improves acceleration much in the manner
as buying a set of 4.57's would do, just not as aggressively of course. My car is lowered with a set of Tanabe NF springs (about 1-inch). As any of my local south Florida S2000 members will tell you, the fit on these is great. They tuck under the wheel wells nicely both front and back. No rubbing EVER, not even close. You will want to have your car lowered to use these, otherwise, there will be a large wheel well gap because of their smaller size. This combo is VERY lightweight, amongst the lightest 17-inch wheels available anywhere and they show off your brake package about as nice as anything you can buy.
These wheels would look phenominal on a black car but all other colors work as
well. People who have seen them in person usually have favorable comments on
their look. Very unique. When you're moving, all people will see is your rotors...it's like the wheel isn't even there.
The reason why I opted for the 555's in the rear is because Nitto is the only manufacturer who makes a 225/40/17 tire which matches up in diameter with the
205/45/17. The car handles as expected....great. Never a problem even during
very aggressive driving. This combo was a well thought out decision and works exactly as I had hoped but I'm gunning for a KMC sponsorship and want to run their
SM7 wheels which require different tires.

I paid $1400 for the set. Bear in mind this is the only 17x7.5 40 offset wheel in
this thin, 5-star configuration. The Racing Sparco's, from Discount Tire Direct, cost $220 each and are either 17x7 (too narrow) or 17x8 (too wide) for their given offsets.
This is why I went with the Nippons...they fit perfectly with the 17x7.5.
There are no curb rashes on these wheels whatsoever and again, as people local to my area who know me will tell you, I detail my car 3/week and the wheels are waxed and
detailed each time. They are in new condition. The tires, as stated earlier, have less
than 1K miles on them, 95% tread remaining.
$900 plus shipping
