[V8] wheel question

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Biggest things you need to look out for (aside from aesthetics, of course)
are weight and strength.  I bought a set of  Edge Racing Flik Lex wheels in
gloss titanium and really like them.  Plus they were inexpensive.  They run
$150 ea. right now, but they currently have less than 4 in stock.  Weight is
18 lbs. 5x112 bolt pattern and ET35 17x8

See:

What brakes are you running?  Open-look wheels don't look so goo IMO with
UFO rotors.

Another very nice wheel (though a bit on the hefty side) is the bolero Audi
OEM wheel.  Special at World Impex $799 incl. shipping
