Wheels that clear C32 calipers

Hi

I looked at tirerack web site and they list only 6 wheels that
clear C32 calipers, I like the Carlson wheels but
I know their wheels are heavy, what is the weight of the stock C32 wheels?
Also if I use the Superleggera's (17 inch) what size spacers do I need to clear the calipers.

Thanks

Bora

the Superleggera's should clear the C32 caliper. but i'd go 18s w/it... even better ... the 3 piece forged. since you want the rims to be light. FORGE is the way to go!

Interesting, both OZ Wheels and Tirerack don't seem to think so.
Have you personally seen a C32 with the Superleggera's mounted without
spacers?

C32
what is the offset of the OZ wheel? because my brother has the same wheel on his car. seems that the offset is not that bad. thats why i thought it would fit... but guess not. if the PROS said it won't fit.
sorrie...
