Look on the cosmis website, if you fit the adapter spacers from CDF you can fit decent (non cheap flaky wheels) that will have an ET of approaching 0...

I unfortunately have a cheap nasty set of rotas at the moment, but I am going to be running 17x9 et -5 Cosmis MRII's. They are going on this weekend. I don't see the issues with adapters as long as you get decent ones. The ones I have ordered will deal with the slicks and 500+hp with launch control.
Xxrs and rotas are cast imitations made out of cheap materials. The Cosmis much like rays and weds sports etc are forged, super strong, very light and the paint won't flake off in 6 months time.
My rays te37s look as good as the day I bought them....

Adapters add rotational weight and non of us want that, plus they look crap, xxr paint is much better than rota rubbish, I've had mine over a year now and they still look like new, Im not defending knock off wheels but xxr do a good job for £600, they are reasonable in weight and came in the size I needed, Pretty sure those cosmis you linked me too are a replica work emotion xt7 even if they are forged, out of interest what flares are you running to use -5et? As that is 21mm further out than the rear of my car! Will look mental at that

The design might not be 100% original but the manufacturing process makes them a premium wheel in their own right.
Will be running abw arches with the wheels

XXR's are cheap tat, the paint/coat on them flakes quite quickly. Same as rotas, cheap nasty knock offs of decent wheels.

I know nothing regarding wheels and sizes etc so I'll ask a noob question.
On these widebodies are wider wheels required to make up the difference between wheel and arch or are spacers used also?
I've often wondered if wider axles are used and I don't like the idea or spacers.

The better option is to use a wider wheel with low offset
