So the wheels that came with the car are 17". So if I can continue to use the tires that came with the car that would be preferable.

This is the car. So just something that would look good. Color doesn't matter too much because I can get them coated in whatever color I want.

We just put these NM wheels on a JCW we built and they were perfect fit. Much lighter too.

They look very good and you
don’t have to wonder about fittment
with the JCW calipers as they’ve
already been tested.

Can anyone give me specs on wheel fitment? Like how do I know what wheels will work or not? Thanks

Due to the calipers, wheel specifications alone aren't conclusive as they do not include spoke shape.

Sourcing from someone you trust and who has actually done the proposed installation is the best way to ensure success I think.

Here's the story of my search for a WIDE 17" wheel.

Cheers,

Charlie
