Oh wow I just checked the price you mentioned. Not as much as I thought they would be. Here in Finland they are not that cheap though.
My rims were about 360$ each.

edit: How can this be true?! Here in Finland Breyton Race GTS Black (8,5 x 19) cost 1070$ EACH
wow. i hope im not buying some replicas. you're making me worried

lol nope theyre not replicas on tirerack!! breytons are alot cheaper in america than Europe, i was slightly confused aswel when i first saw the price on tirerack. It appears there are no other offsets available for the race gts on tire rack, so you would need spacers, both back and front. Not sure if they make them in any other offsets, but ideal is between 12-20 on the front and 17-23 on the rear.

If you look at the description it shows that it comes with spacers and hardware required to make them fit your car. I'd go with the 20" wheels though. I almost bought them when they were on sale but chickened out last minute for some wheels with lips.

Don't worry. You get an R8 and I'll hook you up with a set of DPEs.

Good choice on the wheels. Can't wait to see them installed. I would get high performance tires and swap wheels and tires for the winter time. In the winter time, the salt and potholes can damage your wheels. It's a pain to switch them out but your wheels will last longer.

I would not get them despite the fact they look really nice. I was also going to purchase them but needing spacers for the front and rears was not something I favored. Also their cast and that means their heavy and will bend easily on NY roads. I would get some forgestars.
