You'll love it. I run a very similar setup on my srt8 for years. Nice 55.

They won't have much to say other than they don't make wheels for your car.

Yeah exactly what they told me, not theit intention to put on our cars so not very helpful. Best bet is grab a 5x4.5 bolt pattern wheel and then machine it. They will build you whatever offset you need.

Yeah it will if you order the right offset and do the machine work. They won't build them to fit out of the box for our cars but if you're okay with putting in a little work you can get them to fit.

They're not incredibly light if I recall correctly but what they are most importantly here is strong. Billet as opposed to cast aluminum is all I recommend putting on a heavy car that goes like stink.

A 17x10 RTS is a little more than 19lbs.

Lol thanks for the feedback guys. I'm getting a better photoset done in the next week or two so will update the thread. Hopefully I'll be making to the track soon too.

I can weigh them next time I have them off the car they are light but by no means lightest wheel out there.

I really wanted the strength, look, stance and functionality of a wider rear tire.

Every time I see the pics I begin to drool a little. I've wanted Welds for the longest time. Maybe I will sell my CCW's

Teaser from a shoot I did will post rest of set soon. So far have been super happy with this setup: best ride quality, hooks at track and street, gets a lot of compliments on being different than other Benz setups.
