Typical aftermarket wheels range from +40 offset with 42 and 45 being the more commonly preferred. Size wise, mostly 17", some 18", and a few 19". Lately there has been a trend for stretch and poke, changing typical widths and offsets. Also, the availability of wide body Focus RS parts has resulted in a few running 17x8 and 17x9. Matching tires sizes vary greatly.

Oh I see, so pretty high offsets. I am not familiar with Focus suspension or steering geometry, but I am trying to fix my scrub radius.
Currently I have a 17x7 +38 wheel, but was forced to use a 10mm spacer to clear my Brembo's. I figure if I use a 17x8 wheel with better caliper clearance and higher offset, I can bring my scrub radius back into line. BTW, my application is a 2002 Infiniti G20, found the forum by searching for Pro Race 1.2's on Google. |

Can you check stock for any 17x8 1.2's that they might have in the warehouse? Black is preferred as color, but I would consider anything.
17x8 Offset still deciding.. Color is up in the air.. Bolt pattern is 4x114.3 Really just depends if anything is available now. |

I'm looking for a set of the 17" matte black Pro Race 1's. Am I reading it correctly that a set is $625 shipped? Can you take a credit card directly, or do you only accept Paypal?
