    So I almost got some wheels a few months ago, but chickened out and just went for tires instead. Well I've been really paying attention to what I like. I've pretty much decided on some bronze 5-spoked wheels, Gram lights are one of my favorites, but it's more money than I really want to spend. I also really like the Rota P45Fs, but I'm thinking I want to go with 17x8s, and those only come in 18s (not ruling it out yet though). Basically ,I'm not going to be buying these tomorrow or anything, I just wanted to see my options in this department and maybe finally make up my mind so when the time comes I've got it all figured out.

    Recap: 17x8, bronze 5-spoke wheels, resonably priced.

    Thanks

    Edit: So I just read this and realized that I never really asked my question, does anyone know of any wheels that fit this criteria?

    Is weight a concern?

    On another note, were you at the SAC tonight? I think I saw you...recognized you from your myspace picture.

    Yeah I was. Try to go just about every day as of recent. Say hi next time.

    Weight isn't a huge concern, but I don't want them to slow my car down noticeably. Lighter is better though, of course (another reason I always find myself looking at Gram lights)

    Well rotas traditionally are not light. Light will be your SSR comps and such, but those are pricey. What's your budget looking like?

    Well right now nothing, but when I do get around to it I was hoping for something around 200 a wheel. The Gram lights seem at cheapest to be around 250...which I might be able to talk myself into.
