Was planning on picking up some stock BBS wheels that came on the convertible.... since these are 15x6.5 are there any problems? any thoughts? Does anyone know where to pick up a set of SSR's......looking to keep the weight under 11lbs.

I used the vert wheels before. They fit a 225/45. With the +40 offset you are really going to need a big spacer. In my case that was a good 15mm+ to clear the spring seats. They also don't have the optimum 7" width. If you are considering the vert wheels for cost reasons, they aren't bad if you can get a set for $150 or less. If cost is not an issue or you can spare a couple more hundred, find another wheel. Look at Team Dynamics, good bang for the buck and would be better than the vert wheel all day long. It's worth another 2-3lbs per wheel to get from 6.5" to 7".
