Here they are! 245/45/17, 8.5" ET66 up front and 315/35/17, 10.5" ET51 in the rear. Perfect fit and no rubbing! Plan on putting 255's up front but 245's are what I had.

I think they look good, not cheap, however I prefer 17"... Thinking of having them make 17" manholes...that is when I have and extra $4k. With my luck and California roads I would hit a pot hole in the first week and break one or just worry about doing so.

Forged? Wonder what they weigh?

I'd love a set of 17" Clubsports.

Fun!

Love the 18" D90's (Clubsports would be better) and they can make 18" Cup 2's or pretty much anything according to the site!

Van, is this the wheel company you were talking about at Sharktoberfest? You'd think I would remember, but you'd be mistaken....

I just received this from Dan at Augment


Every set we do is tailored for the ownerDan/car, so we can build to whatever spec you need. For reference, these were 18x8+57 fronts and 18x11+51 and the owner was utilizing a 15mm spacer in the rear

I wonder why they didn't go to a higher ET up front since they are custom. I would have done ET 70 and 8.5" or ET 65 and 8".

Custom made wheels machined from forgings at those prices in $Can [1.32 to the US dollar?] and assuming they can deliver the correct offsets- looks like a real good deal to me not to mention one gets to choose the style one wants

I sent them a note and will try to set up a time to visit their shop. I had no idea they existed until now. But ya that's only 3k usd, our dollar sucks.

I'm thinking 17" 7 slots. I wonder if they can do an anodized finish.

Someone please get max. ET they can make. I bet it will fall short of 928 needs but does not hurt to ask.
