I had 17x7.5 BBS RX wheels (same on the gold

within 5k miles. They basically went bald.
Too low of an offset, and them being 7.5" didn't help. I would go with 7" just for
good measure, and a offset higher than 40mm.
BTW, the tires wore out even before I got
my car lowered. Now I'm running a 7" rim
and a 40mm offset. Tires still wear quick on
the insides, but not NEARLY as bad as with
the BBSs.
Hope this helps.

The choice for 7 1/2" wheels is a forced one. I am looking at getting Team Dynamics RIM2000 wheels and they only come in a 7 1/2" width.
I would prefer 7" and a 40mm offset, guess I'll just have to keep looking for a 7" wheel that I like. I am primarily looking for a 5 spoke wheel. Any suggestions?
TIA
