An offset change of more than .25 inches would not be legal for Stock
class. All other wheel dimensions must remain exactly stock for Stock
class.

I can try. If you're talking about the Rota Circuit 8-spoke wheels, I
just put a set on my Saturn. (by the way, you can get them $20 cheaper
(per wheel) through Victoria Tire... just be sure to tell them that you
expect all of the wheel accessories or they'll try to get by without
sending them!) They actually look pretty good on the car. A very
"open" design. The hubcentric rings are used to center the wheel on the
hub, not critical since most/all cars now use lugcentric wheels. These
"cnc machined" rings are made of plastic, by the way.
Overall, they're a nice wheel at a good price, and very light. Won't be
legal for Stock class, though. If you buy them for street use, you'll
hate putting the (heavy in comparison) stock wheels back on for
competition.
