TRUE! The difference in weight between SpeedlineTurini's and Compomotive MO's is massive.

if your unsure i would go with et40 then you could space it with a 5mm spacer to fit like a et35 but if you put et35 on and there out to far your fuxked.ps the standard wheels are et36.5 if this helps you but there only 6j you probably want 7j

Speedline Turini's FTW as posted above.

Hard to come by now. There was a nice S2 in red that used to roll on them. Can't find the pic now.

You can also get flow-formed ones that are used in motorsport. Rally-breaker may have some from an EsCos?

Never liked Team Dynamics ones for some reason. They look cheap. Heard bad stories about Rota wheels too. They're just copies of the expensive Jap weels.

Super T's been done to death. Let them die.

MO's are timeless.

Good luck whatever you go for.

im gonna b runnin et40 on my 17x7.5" mo's, and like said above, easier to drop a 5mm spacer set on to push em out to et35 if it suits, but going the other way aint so easy lol
