    17" track wheel options ??

    I'm currently running 15x7 TRM's w. 205 and 225 toyo's but have an opportunity to get 10 free 205/40-17 RA1's from my local director.
    Wondering if there's a 17x8 wheel out there w. E30 offsets that's cheap enough to grab to use these tires?
    My eventual plan was to run a 17x9 setup w. flares so I'm still not really accomplishing anything other than getting free tires and have better transitional wheel/tire combo.
    Anyone have any 17x8 suggestions for track that would help to make this cost affective?

    thx :)

        Sell/trade?
        You should theoretically get more of the 15".

          I was hoping there was something out there around $500.. not $1k. :)

            $500 for 4 x 17 inchers?.....looong shot.

              For $500 I'd honestly look at running something with higher offsets and a Japanese bolt pattern. 5x112 is much easier to make adapters for than 5x120, and the JDM market is flush with 17 inch wheels with a 40-50 offset which would be perfect with adapters.

              Not a perfect answer, but with that budget, I think it would be the best route.

              If you want to bump up your budget, I'll buy 4 of those RA1's for $200!:D

                Or adapters for Subaru 5x100 wheels. Usual offset is 50ish.

                  flares dont have anything to do with how wide your wheel is. Only matters what size tire you want to fit. you can spend $500 on wheels and $100+ on spacers or spend $1000 and just get the right wheel. arc-8s are nice. if they make 17x9 in a 4x100 you should get those. but i think they only have those in 5x120. good luck!
