Also the faster I get these wheels sold the faster I can get a set of 18"s
I have 19s and I'm considering switching too. I want to go 17s since they'll be lighter, but I don't want to hate how it looks just to reduce weight...

I know you're going with 18s 17s will save more weight (obviously), so that's what I want, but I'm not sure if it'll look nice

I don't personally think they look too small, but I guess in certain angles, I can see the argument for 18's. BUT, for how light these are, I wouldn't change a thing..

and yeah, 245/40/17's.

That looks awesome.
17s are Perfect for these cars, anything bigger is a waster of rotation energy and borderline rice.

Looks really nice. Any other options that look decent than arc 8?

What are the wheel specs for your set up? Any spacers? N more pics!?

17x9 ET30 square setup. No spacer at the moment, but planning to put a 12 or 15 mm spacer on the rear. Front fitment is literally exactly how I want it.
