14.6 pounds?!??! Wow. They do look a bit like 16's in the black, though - at least in the pics.. sorry... but for that low weight in 17's? Great tradeoff, good choice, and the black looks really good on CR. How are the F1 A/S tires? They're supposed to be the cat's meow...
Thanks guys. These wheels do seem to have more of a 16" look to em' but I'm pretty much thrilled about the way they look. I think they compliment my blackout rather well. I don't have a lot of miles on the F1's yet, but so far I'm happy with these. The ride quality/road noise is very similar to the 16" conti runflats. for some that might not be a good thing, but I don't want a tire with a softer sidewall. Now I'm in need of some suspension work. A set of Alta PSRS's are very high on my list as well as deciding between coilovers, JCW or lowering springs.
New wheels for the wife's new Clubman. 17x7 Arospeed (sic). Hyper-black finish with a set of 215/45-17 Kuhmos. it's a nice improvement from the stock 15s.
HOLY COW!!! Those wheels are awesome!! I was going to get those but wasn't sure how they'd look and I didn't want to fork out over $5000 for them, but now that I see them <<<drool>>>

as PGT said, they dont' cost that much. costly but no where close to your numbers, maybe with some fancy tires.

I've always thought so, too, because of how thick the outer rim section is compared to other wheels. The black looks killer and that weight is awesome.
I think someone locally was trying to rip me off then!!!!!! Didn't you say they were HRE wheels??? May I ask please what you paid for yours then? If you don't mind, of course
just got them on . enkei flc-01. there ok . i wanted konig feathers. but dt kept saying they were gonig to be another 8 weeks. i ordered the set back in march and i have been waiting ever since. i couldnt wait any longer my run rocks have 40 k on them and i could go another month on them but i needed new tires .so here you go , minis flithy and im not going to lower it . dt has let me down and they even forgot my hub rings but they will be here in a couple of days. you know what really sucks i had to pay more for these wheels too. oh well these wont be the last set of wheels i get so f it.

HRE's are that expensive. I had a 17" Work VS-XX set like that which jerjer has....that's what we're talking about. I think I paid $2k for them. The HRE's....well, new, they are A LOT more. I got mine second-hand
