uh.. i think 18x8 +45 and 18x9 +40 would be just about perfect. They have a listing for the FD, but I couldn't decipher the codes.. I've emailed Modern Image to request more "real world" pics of the Silverite color.. I think it looks promising!

hmmmm.......how come some of the carbonite pics have a machined lip, and some are just fully the same color?

I like the carbonite ones. Very thin spokes. Look good but I'd worry about strength (racing apps?). What do the 17s weigh, out of curiosity?

it said about 1lbs/inch, so i guess that suggests that it should be around 17lbs for 17 inch rims
