Totally There is no such thing as "best" offset. Search or start your own thread.

I know it's not a white evo, but they are both wide wheels, so that it give an idea of what they would look like.
Those are 17"x9" 5 zigen. I know how they look and I like the flat black but a friend of mine bought them for his evo about a year ago. I don't want to be that guy who copies there friends. I even changed my plate frame because another Evo buddy had it to. I like to be different. I want an 18 for the street/summer and 17 for the track and winter. I plan on getting 5 zigen's in 17" later. I love the black w/ polished lip, but not in the 5 zigen.

I had the heavier wheels last year too, along with the 285's.

I'm still waiting to hear on availability of the 16# Buddy Club wheels. After I get retuned for the 20G-LT and see how my dyno graph compares with last year, then I'll make the decision if I want to try the 295's to get a little more top end speed. . .

A LOT and I mean a LOT of track guys run the 5Zigen. I've got 2 sets myself. They're cheap, strong and light enough. Depends if you want to be unique or what.

The others I believe are Rotas. I'll never own another set of cheapo Rotas in my life. My .02

Depends. I only like FN01R's in bronze with a crazy offset and size.
