17x8.5, affordable?
 

Any 17x8.5 with a not hellaflush/trackable offset that I can buy for less than ~$350 a wheel?

I don't need some JDM as fuk yo $800 a wheel

I'm looking for a wheel I can run 225 tires on and in the future run 245 if necessary

If I can't find a decent 17x8.5 I will just buy some Kosei 17x8 +36 wheels for 200 a pop

Desmond Regamaster 17x8 - Can find those for about $1-1200 for a set.
Enkei RPF1 - $1200ish?

Enkei RPF1 is probably your best bet.

The choices for light, affordable 17x8.5 wheels are severely lacking.

Phatfux wheel! Model balzy. I paid 250 per wheel! http://www.phatfux.com/wheel.php

xxr 527 17x8.25 +35 at 120ish a wheel.

keep an eye on craigslist, it takes time, and being the early bird once a worm pops up but it does work. Applications (whatever is good for your preferred platform) help massively with finding deals, wether it be ones that allow you to search multiple areas at once, or ones that combine that with automatic searching. Craigshopper on osx is either the best or worst $6 a person could ever spend.

last summer got 17x8 rpf1, 0 curbing, decent paint, tires that were easily usable for a few months for $600.

yesterday got a set of rota grids, freshly powder coated, 17x9, with zii tires in great shape. for not much more than the tires would have been on their own.

720 Form wheels are available in 17x9 and are fairly light for around $200 a wheel if those work for you.

xxr 527 17x8.25 +35 is what I got for $435 for a set of 4 after shipping. They are about 16-17lbs. Studies have shown it doesn't make you any faster putting lighter wheels on the car. Study was performed by a Miata group. I need to find the link.

looks like im stuck with XXRs... will see when I actually buy wheels but I doubt anything will change by then

thanks

There's a dude with 3 cheap BBS wheels that are 17x7.5 on here. I have seen a single one for sale on eBay.

There's the Sparco Tarmac, 17x8 for $120.

Enkei's Tuning series has a number of 17x8 and 17x9 wheels with decent offsets, but they're all $200 +/- $10.

I know there are plenty of 17x8 and 17x9, I want 17x8.5

I'm not planning to ditch stock suspension for some time and I need room to have a little bit of camber.

I'm not finding very much in 17x8.5 without dropping a ton of money. Could you go to 18, or would you rather not?

If you dont mind buying used SSR comps had a wheel in that size. They seem to be popping up a lot on nasioc for under 1000.
