I cannot choose some quality wheels for my CG TSX. They must be lightweight (17lbs or less) and ET between 48 and 50.

Some guy at tirerack told me that ET less than 45 will rub stock tire (correct me if I'm wrong) and that 8 inch wheel on 17 cannot be fitted.

I drive 60 miles daily at the highway they must be strong.

Choices:
1. Enkei NT03+M 17x7.5 ET48 w=17lbs $301.00 ea http://www.enkei.co.jp/p_detail_nt03m.html

2. OZ SuperLeggera MTS 17x7 ET45 w=16.7lbs $280.00 ea

4. G-Racing Seki 17x7 ET45 w=17.2lbs $185.00 ea

And Finally these (if I have the money avai) :

6. Prodrive GC07C 17x7.5 ET48 w=15lbs $448.00 ea

Any suggestions??

 

cool choices same wheels im thinking but im going for 18s choose wheels with at least 48 offset or higher

 

I sure hope <45 offset won't rub, because I just spent $1435 on Velox PG-5S 17/7 +42 and hub-centric rings. They're only 12.2 lbs each, though. Should ship Tuesday, the guy said.

The fitment guide indicates that there may be issues under +45, but not necessarily.

 

12.2 lbs thats nice man...how much do 18's weigh?

 

The PG-5S is 17" only, but some of the other Pro-Gear series come in 18". I imagine when they name a weight, but there're two wheel sizes available, they mean the lighter (smaller) wheel. edit: Their page now says 12.5 lbs. Used to say 5.5 KG, which is 12.2 lbs. :P I'm not concerned with that kind of difference, though.

I thought the PG-5Ss looked the best for the TSX. However, they have a lighter max load than the various PG-Revs (620 KG for the PG-5S vs. 690 KG for the Revs).

To convert from KG to lbs, use Google and search for something like "5.5 kg to pounds."

 

i have 18"s with +42 offset and they dont rub

 

I'm thinking about:

3. 5zigen FN01R-C 18x7.5 ET48 w=18-19lbs $200.00 ea

Nice resurrection.
