Looking into some new rims Options

[Random_Stranger]

I really wanted to know what is the best offset, which I know there are threads that are about that. I may have to research those, but I wanted rims that look like these Enkei rims http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Enkei-Sc...sQ5fAccessories


However, I wanted 17x8's and in silver color and NOT universal looking, meaning I want exactly 5 bolts/pattern. Any recommendations, some with a good if not perfect offset? My friend had some BBS on his 2nd gen eclipse before it got killed by a honda (an idiot driver), and his tires were very wide and the wheels were flush and perfect on his. 17x7 just seems too small of a tire to me, doesn't give that aggressive look.

So you want a mesh spoke design, in silver, 17x8, "proper offset", and only drilled 5x100?

Good. Luck.

Realistically you're only going to find REALLY expensive wheels that are only drilled 5x100, and even then the offset will be off. You're going to have to compromise in one category or another, so which one really isn't too important to you?

And 17x7 having small tires - have you thought about bigger tires? 205/45R-17 are skinny, that's why people put 215 and 225 on 17x7 wheels.

Let me do some digging. I know of a set that meets most of your criteria, but I'm doing those wheels and won't share that info until after I have them installed.
