Obviously bore of 56.1

Afraid so, Leo.

My Works are 18x8.5 too, but that won't be wide enough.

17x9.5 would be ideal.

I could also care less what they look like, the specs (including weight) are far more important.

Not much to choose from in 5x100, at least from the mainstream manufacturers.

There are Volk CE28N, which come in 17x9 +43 and are apparently 6.7kg.

i would suggest some OZ racing ones for the lightweight aspect, but as for the sizing i dunno, their website is a pain in the ass

or advan RGII come in at under 8kg for 8.5" width in both 17 and 18. no wider in 5x100 unfortunately, only the 114.3 boys get that special treatment :( hahah

Thank you Reuben, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Bore is probably wrong, but that's what Phat is for.

Just a naturally aspirated 2 litre, nothing exciting.
