    17x9 Work Emotion Cr Kai with +44mm offset, a set of perfect wheel for those that are seeking a set of track/auto-x wheels. Weighs in at 18.9LB for this cast 17" wheel, it fits Brembos. Just a heads up for anyone that's looking because there is a groupbuy going on at nasioc right now.

    P.S. this is a custom order for Spun Autosport, like some has recommend it is probably a good idea to pick up a spare just in case. Peace

    18.9lbs huh?

    I had 17x8's on my 04 and they weighed more than 18.9lbs. Those things were heavy.

    It was a 04 WRX. :D

    My RX8 has 5x144.3 and huge hub bores that make it hard to get cheap wheels from Subaru people.

    5x100 simply complicates the matter, I'm sure you're hub bore doesnt help much either.

    just ordered a set in gunmetal. fyi, the group buy did end on 10/31, but the vendor purchased a few extra sets, one of which I purchased. iirc, there are at least 2 sets remaining, 1 bronze and the other described as a "flat alloy" color.

    I highly recommend a 255/40/17 for the 17x9 it should perfectly, check Edgeracing.com if money is tight, think along lines around Falken Azenis RT615 or Hankook RS2 if you want a grippy-affordable summer tire, however it might rub in the rear depending on your suspension mods. You might have to roll the rear fenders flat.

    yeah, a knowledgeable friend of mine recommended that exact size and I think Tom (the vendor selling the Works) made the same size recommendation (as well as recommending the falkens), so I'll definitely look into those. thanks for the link, man.
