Enkei RPF1 17x7.5 +48 5x100 SBC and wheel/tyre question

Is it possible to find somewhere this wheel with SBC color? because I'm getting mad at trying to search a shop that has it.

while we are talking about this wheel for a pure performance setup, if you couldn't change the tire size what would be the best wheel size for a 215/45/17?

17 7.5 +48
17 8 +35
17 8 +45

I'm interested only in Performance.

The 17 7.5 +48 will be lighter. That's my exact set up : http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41411

We have 1 set of 17x9 +35 RPF1 in SBC left from a special order we made. These take 4-5 months to make and require a minimum order of 40 wheels. You can run a 225/45/17 EHP tire for the best performance. EHP tires are Hankook RS3, Dunlop Z2, BFG Rivals, Bridgestone RE-11A, Yokohama AD08R.

Would love to get that wheel You have... but in my country changing Size of wheel and tyres is ultra illegal and police literally fuck you up. I need special approval for changing tyre/wheel size and it cost loads of money... So not worth it.

I need to stick with the 215/45/17 tyre.

SBC would be special order then and require a minimum order of 40 pieces. That is the difficult part. If you want a different color, then 17x7.5 silver is no problem.
