Question Mazdaspeed MS-01S Wheels

A few Questions....I have searched but can't seem to find this info

These seem like great wheels....lightweight at 17 lbs, forged, and made by Rays, who are well known for their quality. So why do I not see very many people riding on these?


What is the offset on these wheels?

What is this 'long adaptor' that is required to mount these?

Thanks

they are smaller than what you might want and you could get a much nicer looking wheel from another rays company. The ones that you are talking about that are made by rays are just too expensive for a wheel like that. my opinion of course.

It's hard to find a forged 18 that only weighs 17 lbs and looks good

I would've gotten the MS-01s if they weren't so expensive.
