$970 shipped (with mounting hardware) from Discount Tire Direct. They're good guys to deal with.

Turbochargers rock.
I got my Nurburgrings from Discount Tire Direct also. Friendly people and great customer service.
I might be selling mine (17x8, Matte Gunmetal), however, fairly soon. I'd like to use the money toward a set of 17" OZ Alleggeritas.

Yes, I did find them for this price, but I see SwiftGTI got them for a better deal from Discount Tire

1)I just checked and Discount Tire doesn't sell any 18x8 TSW Nurburgring's in Bronze ( at least not in my area). Anyone know of a reputable wheel shop to get them shipped from?
2) Did anyone try the 18x8.5? They come in a ET35 and I was wondering if that would cause a lot of problems.
Thanks

I actually did a search a few minutes ago on 8.5s, but looks like ET is close to 32 (discount tire source). It will rub probably if you go low. I'll stick w/ 8" + 10mm spacers if have more room to go.

Post up a pic if you've got one -- I'd like to see what the Nurburgrings look like in that color and size. Also free advertising when/if you sell :w00t:

Hopefully this weekend and next week I'll be able to get pictures of the wheels. I want to get them dismounted from the tires beforehand, though. :w00t:

No problems here with my Nurburgrings - lots of potholes and extremely uneven roads in South Jersey, took the abuse from that like a champ.

Anyone has pics of 17" PF01s?

I generally avoid potholes when I drive, but I've hit a couple of fairly large ones and they've held up fine. Tough wheels relative to the weight.
As a general rule, if you're looking for light AND durable, go with wheels that are flow-formed (TSW Nurburgring/Interlagos, OZ Alleggerita HLT, RAYS, Forgestar) or if you've got money to burn, true forged wheels (HRE, DPE, certain BBS). A lot of the lightweight gravity cast wheels out there are pretty fragile.
