Default Ruff Racing 278 Look Alikes

Well with the news that the 278's are no longer made I started looking around for some wheels that looked similar. I've found a couple but I still like the 278's more. I really don't want to settle, and I really don't want to wait for a used set to come along in the perfect combo I'm looking for. Anyone come along anything that looks alot alike with good widths and offsets that arn't made for a damn Honda or Toyota running 205 series tires?

Same goes for ADR, alot of the times though the offsets and widths suck and are made for BMW's or Ricers.

I'm watching a couple of sets of these on ebay but the people selling them have bad feedback and stuff about how long it take them to ship. I wish OE Wheels would hurry but and make some good 18 inch fronts in a 8.5 or 9.5 width. I love the look of the C5 deep dish but don't want to run a 10.5 rim on the front with the same lip as the rear.
