What's a good 17x8 rim?

[2gGSX]

I've looked through all sorts of brands for 17x8 rims, and so far I think only O.Z. has them standard as well as a few others. I've really wanted a set of Enkei RS6's but they only come in 17x8 in the form of the version on the Evo VIII as far as I've found. Anyone have any advice?

list of 17X8 wheels coming right up!!!!

Also a small tip, wheels that are forged will ussually be much lighter and stronger, but more expensive

I know what Cast and Forged are but what is SSF?

Forging is the process of forcing a solid billet of aluminum between the forging dies under an extreme amount of pressure. This creates a finished product that is very dense, very strong and therefore can be very light. The costs of tooling, development, equipment, etc., make this type of wheel very exclusive and usually demand a high price in the aftermarket. Semi-solid forging (SSF) is a process that heats a billet of special alloy to an almost liquid state and then the aluminum is forced into a mold at a very high rate. The finished product offers mechanical properties very similar to a forged wheel without the high production and tooling costs of a forged wheel. When low weight and performance are on your priority list, the SSF technology offers an excellent value

I think the Enkei RPM2 and RPF1 both offer a good value. Most people would probably say that the RPM2 is better looking, but the RPF1 is a little lighter, but also a little more expensive. Both are available in 17X8, 35 mm offset. I actually have the RPF1 in 17X8.5, 40 mm offset and they fit great.
