I'm following this thread with a great deal of interest... RTRs are the best looking aftermarket wheel for S197s..and I think the smaller offset makes them look pretty cool.. It's not like the wheels are hanging out of the sides of the car...it's just a subtle, wider stance...not "Larry Craig" or anything.
...so the larger offset isn't a selling point for the SVE Drift wheels for me...but these are a lot cheaper and nearly as good looking.
BTW, how much do the stock 19" wheel options weigh for our cars? Are these significantly heavier?

I think the RTRs offset is too small 40mm would be better for a wheel that wide. If the price is the same the SVE look more expensive like the billet machined wheels. But from what I have seen the TSW Nurburgring wheels with the forged rims are lighter and have better offset with roughly the same look and were selling for less money that's hard to beat in my book.

Relax. I like the TSW's, and they do have many great size and offset options. Just correcting an incorrect statement about their looks. If you own them, enjoy them. BTW, unless one gets a special price, they're not much cheaper than RTR's.

Personally, I like my 23lb wheels. They are ASA GT5's in 19x9. I can fit a 285 on there just fine. I would like to be able to go with a wider tire once I go supercharged though. That's a few years off. But for the price and the weight, I'll keep these for quite awhile. I think I paid $210 per back when I bought them.
