Default rondell type 58 rims

I am starting to look for rims.I like the rondell 58 in 17s or audi sport bbs 17s or newer style 9 or 5 spoke.I am concerned about unsprung weight,and that the rims should compliment the vehicle(stock racing green 2.7).Welcome comments,info etc. Cheers

I don't want to affect performance negativly ie.acceleration,suspension etc.I want wheels and tires to not weigh signifigantly more than stock.

Default Auhh, well then find out the weight of your exsisting wheels and check the wheels you're considering

Frankly though, if you're not a heavy track rat or a very tuned in driver a five pound difference will probably go unnoticed. So, buy what you like and not strictly for weight.
