done my research... been doing the wheel width and clearance thing for far too long. but mainly as a result of the last car being slammed to the ground from my ricer days. 17x8 seems to be the biggest you can go on the wagon before you run into clearance issues.
the kosei k1 ts's in a 17x8 are pretty much the same weight. the rpf1's look SO MUCH better. i'm still streeting this set of wheels... the kosei's might be cheaper, but i am concerned with aesthetics. they wouldn't be so bad if they were sized in the traditional k1 face, but even those don't look the part of the rpf1s. but i think the ts's are ugly (sorry karlton, haha, not like you guys run those anymore anyhow). i'll pay more for something if i have to stare at it everyday, although the car might get parked in storage on weekdays soon.
now it's a question of running 245s or 235s and getting my gram lights and stockers sold.

FWIW, videos from the Acura. Accidently uploaded the "unedited" version, so you'll have to skip forward a bit. Still sorta scary that we were rushing enough at the end we got three different runs (by 3 different drivers) finished in under 10 minutes 
Run in the video was my fastest, Charlie was a couple tenths faster on his second, and Chloe was taking it REALLY conservative because she had major conage on her first two runs and just needed a clean run.
