I did but then thought they looked like the Rota's. At least the Buddy club wheels are more sensibly priced

Seriously have a look on the US FS threads
I can point you at a set of new & boxed 17" TE37's in "time attack" colour sheme with the same offsets as my CE28's

Mikey's right - details in my sig. A little more expensive than the Rota's but excellent fit and very light...they're strong too and show very little dust which makes them a very good choice for a track wheel

I'm not lowered yet either (although i'm on the list for the trilobular ECU bolt removal ).

Probably the only wheel i'd pay full price for.

They are forged and very lightweight

Good value for money, especially compared to the Mugen/Volk stuff.

Obviously then, they will snap in half as soon as you go round the first corner....

As for weight of the boosts (17" wise) they weight about the same as the oem 16's and have +48 offset.

It's close at the back, but they clear.

Also, there is about 1.5" of clearence to the brake caliper so no problem with BBK if you ever go that way.

Did you manage to get the ride height of your car any better in the end?

It is better than what it was there, but it's still high.

As I said, I have removed weight from the car and have a smaller rolling radius on my new wheel.

As such, i reckon on 7-10mm difference due to these factors
