FK8 Future winter wheels ?

Where do you find the off-set info for a given wheel? I want to buy winters for my CTR this summer too :) The dimensional aspects are new to me however...

If you go on Performance Alloys,or any of the large wheel selling sites you can enter your car model and it then brings up all wheels that might be suitable in terms of pcd,diameter ( must be 18" or more to fit over the brakes?)
If you then choose each wheel you can see the offsets available.You can then do a wheel comparison on the other site as I have done on the link,using the standard fk8 wheel dimensions to compare.
I'm not an expert by any means so I don't know how far you can go with different offsets from standard without compromising the cars handling,I'm sure others on here who have bought aftermarket wheels before and will know a lot more than me.

Thanks,might have known someone would have already sorted it out!

So just a matter of finding something you like the look of...and,in my case,at a reasonable price.

There is still some debate on how the offset affects the handling/torque steer. Some people say going from +60 to +45 is OK and barely noticeable while others say that you can feel it. In the UK we have the option of getting the Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.3 in 18x8.5J ET55 (PRO RACE 1.3, 5-3-88555QH), which I think is the route I will take. Shame the colours are limited :(
