They're pretty nice. They're not really my style, but I like them. The -C isn't going to be too expensive, probably about $200 for 17". It's the FN01R, the original forged version that's a bit pricey.

I was quoted at $150 for the 15's

If you get the FN01R your talking $300+ a piece. Thats also for the 15's

Smaller is faster.

no, the FN01R-C is cast, the FN01R is forged.

Those prices don't look like they include tires. It looks like you've got sizes mixed up too... he said 15" rims and you're asking about 17" tires, but yes, 205/45/17 would be a good size choice if you're buying 17" rims.

No they don't, Just the wheel. Its a good strong wheel, I considered them for my Racing wheels, but Decided on 15" Rota Slipstreams (I got a better deal on them $100 a piece).

Cast Vs Forged. A question for the Ages.
