Guys,

I am looking for a set of 17 x 7 or preferably 17 x 8 rims that will clear brembos

these are for track use only so no chromies

Let me know if you are aware of any available.

Cheers

I don't think the 17" wheels clear Brembos.

Yeah mate, they do :) some aftermarket ones also.

Wasabi had a rim.... I can't remember the name at the moment.

I think the gmax is over $300 though. Which makes subaru's $275 for the space saver seem cheaper. Plus less weight. Doesnt come with rubber but that cant be much!

ohh crap, didnt read the first post as I thought this was the "where can I find a spare" thread!

4 space savers could be fun on the skid pan :) Well at least until you roll the tires off the rims..

Yep, my spare is a Gmax that I got for a good price (Like free!!!) 8) Main reason I was really happy with it is that it allowed me to use the original rubber from the spare.

They are normally about $325 each per rim & they clear Brembos nicely. So for $1100 + some R Specs (Approx $1100 for a full set) you have a pretty awesome track set up :D
