    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.

    Who's fault is it that you have an RX8? :)

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

    bump for awesome track wheels, anyone plan to buy these? 17x9 at 18.9lbs for $1300 shipped, I would jump on these if I didn't have a set of track wheels already, deal ends on the 31st of October, don't pass it!

    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.
