Rays Engineering 57F 17x7.5. These wheels weren't my 1st choice, but I gave up on waiting for the Enkei JS+M. The total package, including bigger tyres, is still 1kg lighter per wheel than stock. Offset is +48, tyres are 215/45, which will change my 100 kph speed by 1.7%

Wow, I have not yet seen an NC with wheels like this, and I have to say I like it a lot (I may be biased though in the red car with gold wheel dept.).
