about 7.5kg per wheel (wheel only), for 17s.
Cost is cheaper compared to OZ standard, but about the same as the recent halfords deal (about £800 for wheels+toyo proxies)

prolly silver. Car is black, so I want some contrast. Detango worked really well, then silver wheels (was hoping v.shiny like hi power silver), and possibly mesh grilles.

I quite like the OZ Chronos, bit different.
I have been considering getting some new wheels for my black Sti too....such a hard decision to find something a bit different from everyone else that still suits the car.

Flow formed speedline Turini,s get my vote...6.9kgs on 17".Though 18,s would look better on new model..
there strong,light and manufacturer has racing background ....
What more could you want?
apart from forged alloys i suppose....

I posted in wheels and tyres, but I need somewhere that I can see a good range of wheels - and specifically the different colour bk299s and 238s. Any recommendations down south? I'm in slough and work in Farnborough, so anywhere around there would be good.

BEWARE
My son had a set of BK299's (when they first came out last year) and they corroded in about 13 months and beleive me he looked after them..... Hopefully just a bad set BUT we are talking all 4 going the same way and it was BAD..... The laquer obviously was not that good....... or the moisture was under the laquer from when made/finished.......
(Now changed his car for a civic type R)
All the best

I've asked them specifically how their 299s and 238s are made. If they are simply polished alloy with laquer I'll avoid them as I don't think thats enough protection for our climate.
But if they are simply very shiny paint + laquer I might be OK.
There are a couple of people on here with 299s so I'll check with them too.
