Any suggestions for light 17" x 9"s in 5 x 112? - JediJoker 2015-01-04 09:05:16 (404 views)
- TDR pro race 1.2 is a great option that is actually pretty inexpensive too - 1885 2015-01-04 19:33:35 (294 views)
  - They're not particularly light, though, and I'm not sure they clear HP2s in 17". - JediJoker 2015-01-05 00:10:47 (284 views)
    - reasonably light (~19lbs from what I recall when mine were delivered) and have tons of clearance - 1885 2015-01-07 09:15:57 (286 views)
      - What size are you running?   -  JediJoker  2015-01-07 22:39:47 (287 views)
        
        17x9" ET25 on my TT   -  1885  2015-01-10 00:46:40 (257 views)
        
        Hmmm... I'll have to check again. That sounds about perfect. 1st or 2nd gen. TT (5 x 100 or 112)?   -  JediJoker  2015-01-10 05:06:31 (265 views)
        
        Rimstock (TDR parent company) claims 9.5 kg. (20.94 lbs.) per 17" x 9" Pro Race 1.2.  -  JediJoker  2015-01-13 07:46:23 (285 views)
- They will rub - JonD-2.7tDallas 2015-01-04 18:49:51 (288 views)
  - Rub what? And how can you say that definitively without a specific wheel/tire combo? - JediJoker 2015-01-05 01:38:25 (282 views)
    - Because I know rubbing!! (that's for the old timers) - JonD-2.7tDallas 2015-01-14 14:36:53 (286 views)
    - It's a bit different but.. I couldn't run 255/45/18 on my s6 - Dr. Funk 2015-01-05 06:18:22 (289 views)
      - I'm thinking 255/40ZR17 NT01s on 9"s, and probably an offset of +30 or lower. Might poke, but... - JediJoker 2015-01-05 06:49:00 (288 views)
        
        your numbers are in the right ballpark - just me 2015-01-10 08:54:39 (292 views)
- Press in Chicago ran BBS RC lightweights in 17x9. And they looked fantastic! - Boston Driver 2015-01-04 12:36:46 (311 views)
- As Roger noted, that size is going to be hard to find off-the-shelf in 5x112 - FrenchToast 2015-01-04 10:30:38 (349 views)
  - I already have 8"s and am looking to go wider for a better contact patch from 255s. - JediJoker 2015-01-04 11:00:25 (343 views)
    - What's your price range? I might be moving on from the Volks... - Boston Driver 2015-01-04 14:29:41 (317 views)

      - These will be track-only wheels. Not concerned with potholes, etc., just curbs and fouroffs.   -  JediJoker  2015-01-04 23:34:53 (282 views)
