i think i have decided to go with the 17" wheels. i want a mesh-style wheel (flik wasp, hp evo, etc.) can anyone tell me who makes these style wheels in 17" with a 5x112 bolt pattern?!? where can i find them online? i've looked several places, but could only find them in 18" & up...

thanks!!! :thumbup:

baisee00 (sp?) has 17" mesh wheels. I beleive they are Rondells. Wheel exchange sells them. Discount Tire has a Rage Euro that I was looking at getting. They looke like baisee00's and the flik wasps minus the rivets. According to discount they weigh 21 pounds each. Not the lightest but not to heavy. Pretty good price too, especially when you consider you can get them delivered to a Discount Tire store and they will mount and balance (with lifetime balance and rotate) the tires for you at no extra cost as long as you are buying tires from them as well. www.discounttire.com and baisee00's page http://www.clubb5.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=38324
ASA I believe also has a BBS replica that you may be interested in. About $180 a wheel at Tirerack.com
thanks for the advice! i ended up getting 17" ASA AR1 wheels. the wheels & tires (kumho ecsta 712) arive at the shop today and go on the car tomorrow right after the new control arms, updraded TREs, koni yellows and H&R sports... :D

i can't wait to get back into town on monday to take her for a spin!!! i am so excited about the way the car is going to handle now - i am SO sick of my current floaty, loose suspension & no-grip tires!

Very nice choice. Please post pics. I'm still racking my brain trying to decide on wheels and sizes
Nice choice.
The ASA AR1 is one of my favorite wheels.

Adam Bleser has them on his car. Here's a link to him:

thanks for the props - i'm definitely happy with the choice...

jimmydee - i saw pics of bleser's car - very nice. do you happen to know if he has any pics with the 17" posted? i think everything i saw was 18".
Correct, they are 18" posted.
However, if you send him a PM, he will e-mail you pictures of his car with the same wheels in 17" (he used to have 17" and then upgraded).
