Yes, I like those as well, but the US Speedline dealers really mark up the prices for them WAY WAY above what Demon Tweeks is charging for them, even after shipping.

They also gouge you (no matter WHERE you are), like $100 per wheel, for any colors besides the standard ones (like the gold shown in that pic, which was the color I wanted a set of 16x7s in).

Toblerone 86 being in the same country as Demon Tweeks does not have to worry about markups, nor much in the way of shipping.

As you probably already know, that is a European site. Sometimes things over there or not things over here. Good luck. Plenty of fish in the sea, LOL.

But Toblerone 86 IS in England, same as Demon Tweeks.

Absolute diamonds thank you for the help, time to invest I think.

BTW I used Google reverse image search and found the wheels instantly. Super handy tool.

I would look here Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels
There were several different brands that are similar to the Speedline and a lot cheaper. I like the Rack because they list the weight of the rim.

This is what I was talking about when the light hits my veels just perfect!

I'm surprised by how good bronze looks with blue. I find blue is hard to find a colour to go with without them clashing, but that sure goes very well.

It's A Gold Rubbed Bronze by Prismatic powder coating* They look awesome clean and in person....photos just barely do them justice.

17x8 Konig Hypergram. 215/40 Falken Azenis 615k+ tires. Swift R springs. Slight stretch with the tires because the tread patch is pretty small

I may be an odd one out here, but I do wish Hypergrams came in 17x7

They would be that much lighter (and H/Street legal if their offset was compliant to those rules).

Not sure about your (CASC?) rules up there in the Northland.

I think it is 16.3 pounds for the 17x8. Pretty nice compared to the 22 lb stockers!

Yeah, for sure. I just think 215s and such look too stretched on them, i guess I'd have to go to 225s but then it will probably rub?

I kissed HS goodbye when the diff went in. Don't even care about the scores now though, car feels way too nice coming out of the corners

225/45-17s would be way too tall.

The new Conti Extreme Contact Force gumballs @225/40-17 might work, especially given their narrow tread width for that size, depending on the wheel's offset (and width).

I originally wanted some star specs. The contact patch is 7.8” IIRC. And I think the Falken’s are 7.2. That’s a pretty big difference. If I did 225s in these Falkens I’d probably be fine. 215 star specs wouldn’t stretch much. All depends on the tire! I couldn’t pass up the price on the Falkens!

Good luck with the Falkens! I wouldn't put them on my car if they were giving them away! One bad incident with them and Falken didn't want to know has put me off them for life!

He had a problem with some Falkens in the past and found the customer service to be terrible. I am running Falken RT660‘s and love them.

 

[rallytaff]

I ran them on my older Focus and ended up with TWO bald patches on the front tyres. No racing, no emergency stops or any other 'bad' driving. Contacted Falken and they could care less. I even offered to bring them to their business in Rancho Cucamonga to show them and find out what the problem was and how it could have happened. Again, NO interest! Great customer service - NOT!

17x8 et35 4x108 Compomotive TH2. Rolling likely necessary with 215/40/17 RT660. Edit: rolling not needed for 215s.

Did you need spacers to clear those brakes?
