I purchased a set of 17x8.5" two piece wheels from Work Wheels as I was really having a hard time finding examples of wheels I liked. Plus I wanted to run 245/40-17's on the car for track events. These are the Work XSA 02C's, sized 17x8.5" with a +42 mm offset running Toyo T1R's, 245/40 series. I haven't really driven the car around a lot so I have no driving reviews yet.
Things I noticed is I think that 8" wide wheels would have been ok for these tires, the rear of the rims stick out past the tire slightly. And also this offset and rim width brings the edges of the tires even with the edges of the fenders. So rolling was required, stock height.
Now, the pr0n: (I apologize for the crappy pictures and dirty car, it's been a little hectic lately. And I'm working on center caps as we speak.)

Nice! I like the last two pics a lot

 

Thanks!

 

Don't forget tyre valve caps too

 

Those I have.

 

not to mention, I love the color of your x-type.

 

Thanks, I love it too. It's REALLY nice when it's clean, unfortunately it's not that often. LOL

 

Doesn't look too good right now...

 

What up that? Supposed to be showing pictures of your center caps not front end damage.

 

Some dumbass backed into your ride inadvertently ?

 

No, some dumbass rear-ended a chick on the highway. And not in a good way.

 

wheels look good but they would look better if they where a lil bigger and stagger
