But actually I meant wheel/tire package diameter, not tread width. |

I'm actually just planning on going 225 square. Right now its 205/225 staggered and it's got more than enough rear tire for the street honestly.

K1s are even lighter. The K6R supposedly has a flow-formed rim but its still a cast wheel at < 18 lbs... Maybe I should hold out for something better.

I went with 8.5 style 68s all around because they're cheap and OEM - +38 offset up front after a 12mm spacer. Not the lightest out there, but not too bad at 21.9 lbs a piece. Took a roll and flare to tuck 255 RS3s

That amount of sidewall and the diameter in general is nothing but better objectively when compared to an 18" or larger. Nothing but good things to say about the setup in general. My only complaint is that I have to take them off in the winter.

I currently have the stock BMW style 370 17" wheel, so it's not a diameter change for me unless I get taller tires. Last edited by JakeWJF; 01-16-2015 at 07:58 AM.. |

I like the look of those, but 12mm spacer is a lot, right? |

My Ultraleggeras cost me about that much. OZ makes good stuff, especially for the price.

Nope.
With a good wheel you get to pick two from from the following list: 1. Strong 2. Light 3. Cheap With the RGRs I went with you get strong(9000 ton forged) and light(17lbs), but they definitely aren't cheap. The OZs are cheap and light, but certainly not strong being cast at the weight they are. Stock wheels are strong and cheap.

I drive too much to worry about breaking a really expensive wheel, so the OZs fit that bill. Nice, but not too pricey that i'll really feel needing to replace one, you know? No complaints about them, other than that. You dont go into an aluminum wheel expecting them to stay perfectly straight after a few years and tens of thousands of miles. |

From my experience then, it sounds like the RGRs fit the spec for you then. On the plus side, in the world of wheels $685 for a wheel of that caliber is pretty cheap. It being a 17" saves you some serious cash.

Also the only one of my OZ Ultras that has bent over 50K miles did so under extreme circumstances (during a tire blowout). The other three are still dead straight. |

Thanks for the input. I think I have some personal finance goals to accomplish before I spend that much on a wheel/tire package, so we'll postpone this decision until early summer.

I REALLY like the look of them too. So we will see. It'll be a month or two at least before I actually buy wheels. I dwell on decisions like this for a long time.
