Is that boosts in your photo's s2ook? Has the car been lowered?
I'm not lowered yet either (although i'm on the list for the trilobular ECU bolt removal ).

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

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.

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
