I like those much better than the E1 rims because the spokes are thinner. The 17" size is a nice too but they wouldn't look bad in 16".

-Antonio i have to disagree with you on this one. i think they compliment the car very nicely. they remind me of the RS5's in a way. but they would look even better in 18's or 19's. peace.

Just wait until the people that buy FSVTs start getting new rims (probably soon, too). You'll see quite a few sets on eBay. Of course, buying brand new has its advantages (no chance of being damaged for example). I like the rims. Now you just need bigger brakes to fill the inside.

Could you confirm the offset of the wheels? Thanks!

They're bee-you-tee-ful!
I'd personally like about 5 mm less offset though, as I'd like to have them flush with the outside of the fenders.
However, your Cd would probably be better the way it is - wide tires and rims flush or beyond the fenders really hurts the airflow.
They're probably also not too much heavier than the stock SVTC ones. Thin spokes. But a bit edgier.
