I've had WORK wheels on almost all of my cars. Can't go wrong with the quality and you can order custom offsets, sizes and finishes. I've always been a fan of the Meister S1 as you can see below.

Thanks. Looking at the Emotion 11R. Not sure if I should go with 45 off-set or 52. Will be using 205's, stock ride height.

Stand corrected. You dont think 47's will rub. May look a bit more filling but would hate to have a rub issue.

45 is the recommended minimum on a 7 inch wheel.

That seems to vary from person to person (driving style), road conditions, suspension, and load. Some peple can run them as long as they drive without there obese girl friends

Sure are. Suppose I'll go with the Conti DWS. Seems real popular. Wifes fit has Michelin Exalto A/S. second set of these. First set went 57,000. Second set has had 2 replaced due to tread seperation. Think she hit a large pothole.
