Why do you insist on hub centric? Any potential issues with centering rings?

17" wheels
I pm'ed Derrick once about getting 17" Iforged with the hubcentic fitment.
But I never heard back from him.
I got the idea from Chuck B.
Seems to me with 17" wheels they would be alot lighter than the stock. And therefore quicker.
And even thou the larger size wheels like cool I think you would lose a little bit of acceleration due to mass inertia.
Glad to see that you can actually do this with Iforged.
I sure wish I could see where they had their quality control and customer service straightened out.
What was your reasons for going 17"?

Lighter wheels does offer better braking and acceleration, provided they are the same size, so I do expect better braking from the new wheels and possibly better acceleration due to better traction.
Speaking of quality control...Iforged still have problems there. They messed up some specs on my wheel and they didn't send me lug bolts even though I paid for it.
Going with 17" just makes sense to me as I am putting this on my work car so I want a modest look and not too flashy , I wanted a wider look over my stock 17s. And going with 10" wide rears sure looks a lot better than an 8"
