Do you have any lightweight (less than 15 pounds) wheels in 17" size that would clear a Brembo brake kit without spacers?

No. Very, very few 17" wheels weigh less than 15 pounds. For that you'll generally need a forged wheel, $500 or more each.

To me, anything less than 17 pounds for a 17" wheel is quite light. Sub-15-pounds is very difficult to find.

Dan, if I was OK with 17 lbs for a rim, which rotas rims would clear either Brembo or TSW BBKs, something like 12.2" by .81" mid-sized calipers.

Hey Dan, question...

Rota Torques, 16x7 et40...do they clear the brake calipers ok on an R56 MCS, and are the bolt holes 14mm? Thinking of changing from my RBs (very nice, but still not the look I'm satisfied with)

Sorry, I don't. But I think that sounds like a great combo.

Dan,

Do the fake bolts on the MC's come off or are they glued on? I was wondering this because I wanted to paint them a different a color.

Are the silver MC's coming back in stock anytime soon?

Thanks.

They're probably threaded in, but I haven't tried to remove them.

Not that I know of. Perhaps Steel Gray would be acceptable to you? (It's on the left, Hyper Black on the right.)
