the 17x9 +20 that you can get from http://www.splparts.com would be a way better choice.

Only thing that sux about that 17x9 +20 is that they didn't make the hub center sunken in. It's flush with the spoke...I guess the only way to get that look would be 5x114, 17x10?

The 17x9's aren't concaved, this is what they look like.



If you want concaved, check out the 16x8 +10 Rota Grids.

17x9 +20, as has been said.

And Grids are flush, but you can't get them anymore.

With those rota's being 16x8's +10 would I have to roll fenders with that size of rim? and do they have them in 4 lug?

They still sell the Grids too by the way, they're just a little harder to find. Here in the us, they call them the "Grid Off Roads". In the UK, they call them "Grid Drift Series".

Here's a UK site that offers them http://www.rarerims.co.uk/prod...id=25

I'm sure if you talk to Greg, he can point you in the right direction to find some stateside...
