I think Gunmetal and 16x8-9.5 or 17x8-9.5 would see the most interest.

17x8 is the biggest I would consider as I am going to stick with as near to stock size tires as possible, at least until I can exploit the car's limits and need the extra rubber to go along with added HP. Going down to a 16" is intriguing but I would like to see a mock up before I purchased.

Seems like that's exactly what the OP is looking for...but maybe I read it wrong.

42mm offset is garbage and for those wheels, I would want 16s. Anything higher than a +30 isn't worth it to me.

17x9 Grids all have the same face regardless of offset, so the +42's look no different than the +30's

But if 17x9 +30 is what someone is after due to the more aggressive stance they would give you, that is available as well

If you find a Grid that is 17x9 +42 and looks like that then, I'll eat a cat.

How much would a set cost? What size, offset, etc? And would they look like the picture that VENOM posted in post #4? I may be interested if Whiteout I put on order shows up soon.

The Grid V looks similar, but that's not made in 17", just 16"...but it would be a low offset 9" wide wheel to look like that.

Staggered 18x8.5 / 18x9.5 wheels are $975 + shipping.

They will look like the picture I posted of the blue ones, except we'll be doing hyper black and hyper silver

I will post pictures as soon as we have them.

Interested?

Whaaat? 18" Watanabe (style) wheels? That's sacrilege. 17" is already pushing it.

To the OP, I'd say try the XXR 002 or maybe give Panasport a call.
