I'm looking to get some lightweight 17"'s that will clear the brembos on my 04 G. I don't care at all how they look, but price is somewhat a concern since I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money. Just want to know what kind of width and offset I should be looking for to clear the brembos or any specific wheels would work too. If I can help it I don't want to be wearing out my Pilots on the autox course

 

the wheels i got are about 20lb ea. not that light but they were much cheaper than the next cheapest, the FNR-01c at www.edgeracing.com. It's hard to find 17" rims wider than 7 or 8". The wheel/tire is definitely lighter than the stock 18" setup.

Ones I considered:
Enkei RPF1 (lightest by far of this bunch, but a little more expensive)
Enkei RP03
5Zigen FN01R-C
MB Motorsports Competition (what P Diddy and I have)
MB Motorsports Weapon
Black Racing N1

 

How are you guys finding the competition in BSP? It doesn't look like you have new shocks or coilovers on and I was curious how you are doing there.

EDIT

Reason is I am still debating between going to BSP with basically only the new wheels and rubber or getting another set of 18"'s and staying BS. If I went BSP I could add other mods later but it would just be the wheels for a while.

 

I'm sort of middle of the pack when it comes to BSP times, but I'm sure that it's due to a lack of skill as opposed to the limitations of the car. This is my first year running and I'm not even close to getting the most out of the car. Next year I think that I'll be very competitive.

 

Okay rereading the rules it looks like I could grab some lightweight 18" as long as they are the same width and offset as the stock wheels and stay BS. I think I'll go this route in the end.

 

Pwoz - why don't you consider STX? The competition is much less fierce than BSP and allows more mods than BS. The real limitiation I don't like is 8" rims and 245 tire width. Other than that it is a much better suited class for a slightly modified G...

 

Can you link me to the allowed modifications in STX class? G should do find with 245 width... not fabulous but still pretty good. I thought STX was 3.1L displacement limit though.

does anybody know what Enkei RPF1 sizes will fit with the stock brembo's? i was planning on doing 17x9 in the front and 17x10 in the rear. i know the 17x10 will fit (+18 offset), but am unsure if the 17x9 with +22 offset will fit. the tires i plan to run are 275/40/17 rear and 255/40/17 front. any help would be greatly appreciated!
