16" & 17" wheels w/45mm offset, can we start a list, please?
I've been looking for wheels for my ride, but like its been said here before, when NOT lowering the car, its best to go this route (I say this because I don't want the wheel bearings and suspension bits to be under stress) I would like to lower the car at some point, so the 45mm offset seems like the way to go, so let's see what's been put on the car with this offset, thanks guys, this will help many out there, including me.
I wanted the Drag DR-16 soooooooo bad, but the 40mm offset is too much for my comfort
BTW, I know about the stickied thread up top, but there's alot of GD cars there and I'd like to see what we can go with out there, thanks.

There are some Rotas that are 45mm but you may be limited if you want a particular color...
Off the top of my head...
Slipstream
Circuit 10
Torque
Boost
I think right now all they have in stock is slips and circuits but mostly in bronze or sports bronze. That may change though...with time.
Good luck and I'm always in for more suggestions.
Another wheel I've seen with 45mm offset is the GramLights Vintage 57 but ive tried emailing a few dealers with no response so I dunno. Hope that helps a bit.

I can vouch for the Rota Circuit 10. Full specs: 16x7 +45.
Another wheel that isn't quite 45mm offset but won't rub on a GE:
RAYS Engineering Gram Lights G07WT - 17x7 +43mm offset. Tried and tested on EK3 Ferio's GE.

I found my wheels I believe....the new Rota Blitz in 17", the red stripe compliments my cars theme perfectly

Klasse...don't the specs say 17x8? I think that may be too wide even with 45mm offset. I could be wrong though.

I believe it said 17 x 7.5 but this new wheel is awaiting orders before they start shipping them....great, I've gotta wait on others to get the wheel I've been waiting for. The guy at Discount told me they're slow like that and I could put down a deposit of $200.00 so they could order them for me and then I'd have to wait. Kinda sucks because back home, the guy I've been dealing with for 15 years, would've just ordered them up for me
I WANT THESE WHEELS SOOOOOO BAD!
