Thwheels were &ETe lightest wheels I've got data for are
Fuchsgefelga, Braid and Fikse but I don't have data on Rays

If it were my car I'd want the right width and ET w/ no spacers

The biggest decision id what tires to use
bigger often means more grip but at the cost of acceleration sapping weight and height, the wheels actually have a very small influence on that, Though of course all unsprung weight affects ride
stock 17s were 225/40 & 255/40, Cup used 235/40 & 255/40

wheels were
front:7ET55 7.5ET55, or 8ET52
but 8.5ET48 can be fitted

rear: 9ET55, or 9.5ET47,
but 10 ET51 can be fitted

Another option in 17 inch is Desmond Regamaster Evos 17x8 and 17x9.5 ET is +45 all around.
fronts weigh 16.4 lbs
rears weigh 17.3 lbs.

Yes pretty close, a hair bit lower… it’s definitely not US-spec. We basically dialed it down to where the tires won’t rub the lips or liners under heavy load/compression. It still sits on stock-spec shocks but with Vogtland lowering springs (~1.8” drop vs. stock).

Just popped in here because I saw TE37 in the title! I love these wheels and wish they could fit on my car. The Evo's look good on that car too!

Yes I think I prefer to stick to original 17'' RS sizes . I may try the 917 style wheels in magnesium if they have the right size ? Or just wait till a set of TE37 17'' pop up. Thank for all your help people.

Considering a set of TE37's for my 964NB, the fronts are 8" +50, so all good. The rears are 9" +45 offset. Are they too tight for a NB 964 ?
Thanks
Tony
