    Default SS/TC ,Sparco Asseto Gara's, or Focal F10's?

    So i have been rim shopping and am debating on what to get. I can get ss/tc wheels from a local or get sparco Asseto garas/Focal F10's from tirerack...the Assetor garas and Focals are 17's, i dont really care for the difference in size, 17 or 18, no big deal.

    as far as tires, i will run:

    245/45/17 hankook ventus v12's on the sparcos
    225/45/17 hankook ventus v12's on the Focals
    225/40/18 hankook ventus v12's on the ss/tc wheels

    also a nother issue is the sparcos wont be available till early april, they are a new rim, and tirerack said they havent recieved shipment on any of them.



    this is the focal rim:


    what i like about the focal's is they resemble the Saab Alu50 wheels, which i like. decisions decisions...regardless of what i go with,i will spend ~1100 on the wheels and tires...so the money isnt the issue...

    I think the Sparcos in bronze would look pretty good.

    wide tires are wide
    - the "other" blue redline -

    I've spent 90% of my money on cars, guns and airplanes.
    The rest I've wasted.

    Think an old local here in WA used to have a set of those Focals on his turboed 2.4 not too far back...Blake I think...can't remember the guys SN though. Good looking wheels I must say.

    If you go with t/c wheels and want them brand new i have four i'd let go for $775 plus shipping.
    I'm all about derailing the bandwagon.

    The best overall wheel is the LNF wheels.

    They're forged and are pretty light for a stock wheel.
