Compomotive MO 6-spoke 17x8 ET40

I put these on a couple of weeks ago and finally had a free moment (and borrowed a digital camera) this weekend while visiting friends in Stowe, Vermont. They are Compomotive MO 6-spoke 17x8 ET40 with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 (215/45/17).

Nice! I really like them! Do you know anything more about them? Weight? Offset? Cost? Where did you buy them from?

Thanks for the compliments. The wheels are listed at 24 pounds. As their web site states, these wheels are "designed and manufactured to withstand the rigors of European rallying" and have "an ultimate strength to weight ratio." For more information about offsets (and sizes) and pricing, go to www.usacomp.com. I specified ET40 (and in white) when I ordered these, but they can be made in offsets ranging from 11 to 15, 15 to 35, or 40 to 50. These are made-to-order wheels and take 4 - 6 weeks to arrive from the UK once you place the order (with a 50% deposit).

compomotive is known for bomb-proof rally wheels in Subaru and EVO circles.

...and with the roads in my neck of the woods being about as good as the Pony Express trail, I was looking for a wheels that were proven to be strong (and that matched my car).

we just picked up some white Prodrive P1's. Similar rep for durability. I'd have sprung for the Compomotive's had I known they made a 4x100. I actually contacted rallysportdirect.com about them since they are a dealer......guess UK is the ticket.

Thanks! Motorsport Specialties lists them at $430 per wheel (gold, grey and black are an additional $12.50 per wheel).
