In the interest of thread completeness, here's what the end result looked like. Thanks again to all who offered their advice. A big to Konky for refusing to sell his BBS RZ wheels; awh, never mind, direct it instead to BBS for discontinuing the 17" RZ wheels. Seriously though, I owe Konky big time for all the great advice and tips he gave me.

I think the Wedsport TC005 17" gunmetal came out looking pretty good on my DS MCS...




Cheers!

Ooops, forgot to also add the weights...
  • Stock 17" S-Lite from rear with a Pirelli POS RF that had a good amount of tread left = 49.0lbs.
  • Weds TC005 w/ GY F1 GS-D3 215/45-17" = 37.2lbs.

Not a bad way to loose almost 12lbs unsprung weight at each corner.
