From what I can find they are only available in a wussy 17x9 in which case I would keep my $free99 stock 17x8.5's. Show me a 5Z FN01R-C that failed or a Rota P45 that failed WITH A FULL STORY (not just a pic of one that some girl nailed a curb head on at 50 mph) and MAYBE you could get me to think about spending the extra $ on Ray'$ wheels. Show me 10 of each and I will buy Ray's with out question.
I'd go for the orange if I got the 57D's.

Victory is mine! After a few issues with the trigger side of things, it's done! I haven't tested it on the manifold yet, but my VOM tells me it's good.

AAAHHHH!!! I got good news today, I'm not getting laid off (at least until the economy gets even worse).
But I am now about ready to go crazy. I found these:
Enkei RPF1 17x10 aprrox 17lbs for $1050 shipped.

The only problem is that I can't confirm that they will clear my calipers with the size/offset I want. There are people running them on the 3S and EVO. My specs should make for as much clearnace as possible, but...
I found the FNO1R-C's for $810 shipped...
Indecision!

spacers.
What does the manifold controller do?

I've considered them, but I'm already really pushing the limits as far as rubbing goes.
The controller is for the dual runner length manifold I want to try.
Edit: I ordered them. I think the issue is people trying to run high offsets to avoid having them stick out. But with a 10" wide wheel the highest I can go is ~24mm anyways. Any higher puts the rim into the strut.

low offsets would make them stick out given the same width.

Your right, I meant high, fixed.

My wheels showed up today! They clear everything in the front just fine so I'm good to go. They do stick out a bit, but that was expected. I'm willing to solve any issues that causes be any means. Pics

And my non calibrated scale confirms the 17lbs, these things are light!
