get the C2's AK, they look like TE-37 that 2theex has.... would be sweet if they have a black finish option

EDIT: i mean the hub will be 2 mm further outwards and looking at the spoke design... it should clear it

Thanks. Yea the c2's does look like TE37s. But I think they will be delayed due to late arrival date. hmmm.. I will do more brainstorming. So , I should be good with any offsett (35-40?).

spearfish25, those rims looks great on your PG. I hope I didn't upset you by saying I didn't like them on Monterey Blue. I do like them but I think they look better on Platinum Graphite. I may get them if the other ones are back ordered

No worries buddy. Given my budget, beggars couldn't be choosers anyway. I'm just glad that one of my viable options actually looks pretty good.

Seriously though...go to Tirerack if you live nearby. The South Bend headquarters is ridiculous. I think I left a puddle of drool around most of the rims they had on display.

I don't think they have any tirerack center near me

. I think the closest is the Delaware warehouse but it's just a warehouse.

I have been doing some research on those TR C2s and seems like many BMW/SCCA guys use them for track for their lightweight and good craftmanship( they are made by Enkei).

Front Wheels (Sport Package): 23.2lbs(10.52kg)
Rear Wheels (Sport Package): 23.8lbs (10.8kg)
these C2s (21.2 lbs each wheel) actually lighter than the Rays meaning at some point if I want to use them as track wheel, I can do so too. I haven't called them yet but I hope they still have it when I call by the end of this week.

Thanks for the thread spear!

My pleasure. What widths are you going with? The 'ideal' snow setup is a narrow rim, but after reading many reviews it sounds like people get by just fine with snow tires on wide rims.

I'm not sure. 8.5 maybe (?). What width did you get? Btw, did you use the stock lug nuts (the ones with neck) or did they (tirerack) provide you a new set?

Thx
