Help me choose new wheels
My Speedline Corse GT2 (least I think thats what they are..) are virtually all buckled so I desparately need some new alloys
I have a 99 sti with 18's and ET48 at the moment (100's on the classic 18* 7.5)
Would be nice to have a slightly lower offset to give more clearance on the caliper and do away with 3mm spacers (I have 355mm discs) but I cannot see too many alloys with anything but a 48 Offset - I know offset is not just the only thing - its the clearance on the spoke design.. I would be mightily annoyed if a 3mm spacer was too small though as anything above gets into the 'unsafe' territory especially given I track the car
Looking probably at the ultraleggera's as these are not too dissimilar to what I currently have.. anyone offer any other recommendations?
Gold I think is the only colour that looks decent on a cool Grey sti5

Thanks
Re the Compomotive - they only do 8 inch minimum width on an 18inch wheel which is not recommended for a classic - should be 7.5 inch..
Looks like I'll be ordering some ultraleggeras - just need to find a reasonably priced place... any recommendations on this site?
