Nice alternative to the 17" R90's. Wheel is 17"x7.5" with an offset of 45 and weighs about 20lbs. Let me know what you think.

Looks great. Gives it that classy feel. What did they run, if you don't mind?

Thanks

Just by looking at the tread design, are those the Parada spec-2s? If so, please give me an honest opinion on cornering, wear and any other stuff you can think of. Im thinking of getting a set.

Thanks

$730 for the set with locking lug bolts. I purchased them from http://www.wheelboutique.com Hub centric rings are also needed.

Frank,

The tires are Parada Spec II's. They have been great! The cornering is incredible. I've only had them on the car for 3000 miles but the wear has been good so far. I just rotated them with the new wheels. The only complaint has been the noise but the car is not too quiet to begin with.

Jason

Juan,

No problems at all. The Hamann was an 8" wide wheel with an offset of 43. I had some minor rubbing issues in the rear but after trimming the inner wheelwell it was fine. This wheel is only 7.5" and an offset of 45 with no rubbing issues at all.

twstlvr - ADR M-Classic's look GREAT, but the Hamann's sure look easy to clean.

I think they look great!
20 lbs still seems heavy, although for 17" it may be a low weight.
I'd like to get them for the looks, but am sticking to my 16" stock V-spokes for now.
But they do look very cool!
