Thinking about changing the wheels on my NC, I currently have the boring 16" ones. I want some good quality lightweight 17" ones, something like Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2. Any advice on other alternatives, wheel width, offset, tyre size and where to buy appreciated...

17X7.5J or 8J is ideal with an offset around 45-48. 215/45 is most people's go to tyre size, depends on what you do with the car; track days, fast road etc. Enkei RPF1 are awesome but expensive. Most people go to Rota's or TD 1.2's.

There is a set of RPF1 for sale on Nutz, not mine, but they're a great buy if still for sale

949 Racing 6ULs are a nice wheel if you can stretch to something fancier. I don't think I've even seen the 14-15" ones on anthing over here. The new 17x8 ones are 900 odd for four. I'm thinking about swapping my Wedsports for those once my tyres need replacing.

215/45 are the choice as above, I think it should have had those from the factory. The original wheels are 7" wide and have offset of +55, so an 8" +45 or so, takes you to barely less inner clearance and a nearly an inch out, which should be good to avoid any rubbing concerns with the 215/45s. I have 9" +49 and 235s on mine, and it doesn't rub at all (1" lower, camber F 2deg,R 1.5deg).
