I'm trying to find rims that look VERY similar to my current 5-spoke OEM rims. I need 17 inch rims to complete my Evo caliper/rotor installation. I know the offset has to be at least 35mm. I wish to stay as stock-looking at possible. Does anyone know of rims that could do this for me?

I have seriously considered having custom rims made to replicate the current setup, but the price is too much.

Keep in mind that I am extremely picky on rim choice. I don't want to just slap on some 17 or 18 inch rims and call it a day. I want to be as subtle as possible. If worse comes to worst, I guess I could find some Evo rims, thus knowing they will fit without issue. However, this goes against my meticulous way of thinking around rim choice.

Anyone come across anything like I've described?

I have also looked for wheels that resemble the stock wheels. The only ones I could find that come close were: 5zigen FN01R-C and Rota Attack
 
I've considered the FN01R-C line, but I think the spokes are really thin. But I will consider them again. As for the GSX rims, I'm not sure if the offset will be enough. (What is it, BTW?)
 
I believe that the stock offset for the gsx wheels is 46mm
 
Well, I visited EvoM today and found some ads. I may decide to go with the Evo 8 OEM Enkei rims, but I also saw some Enkei RP02 rims that look very very nice. The problem is that the ad is for 18 inch rims, plus the seller is asking 1600 dollars for the four rim/tire combo (Advan Neova AD07 rubber). So that's much too pricey for me, not to mention I don't want to go with 18 inch spinners. :rolleyes:

I'm definitely looking into the RP02s though. A quick search led me to Gruppe-S. The 17x8 inch rims with a 35mm offset for about $183 each doesn't sound too bad. They even specifically tell the buyer these rims clear the OEM Brembo calipers. :cool:
 
I saw a set of rims at my local Town Fair Tire that looked very similar to the 2G Eclipse OEM rims. The rim is called the T/A and it is made by High Performance Design, Inc. They offer it in sizes 16, 17, and 18.
