Help me find some nice 17" wheels.
 
Hey everyone. I have some 18" wheels that look great on Killer Tomato but I hate the way the car rides with the wheels. I currently have a set of 16" on the car right now due to the tires on the 18" wheels being bald. I want to find a set that are 17" and similar in looks to the 18" wheels I have. I thought about the STi wheels, but everyone has them. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks!

If you don't mind a silver wheel without the black.

I believe these are made by the same foundry company, under a different brand-name. (liquidmetal, rather than MB motoring, but the centercaps and other things bear distinct resemblance)

I kind of like the way the wheel dishes, and is the widest just at end of the spokes, right to the outer edge of the rim, and I am not the biggest fan of black wheels anyway, although some SVXs seem to visually ask for gray wheels.

However, my current favorite is this... and a different style than 5-spoke

There is ONE size that will fit SVX, 17x7.5, 5x114.3, 42mm positive offset. Only thing better would be if BBS offered it in their anthracite finish in that fitment and wheel style, which would look great on a claret with gray interior, like my car. :D
