they actually make 18x9 hp evo's, like pictured on that link... not sure why they dont show that size though. i wish they made those in a 17x9.5 or 10, i would be all over them.
theres also a rim by RPM called the 505 that comes in 18x9.5 and comes in chrome, identical to the hp evos

CCW used to market a 3 pc. wheel that had a center that was "cross-laced", much like a BBS wheel. I have a set on my '96 Z-28. Although they are now pushing their forged center wheels, the last time I spoke to the CCW guys, they told me that they still have some of the "BBS style" centers on hand. If you really wanted that look, I would think that they could be persuaded into making up a set for you.
Unfortunately, I dont have a digital camera, otherwise I could post some pics of my wheels. I've had them about 7-8 years.

First wheel is the lightning. Size goes all the way up to 19 x 9.5.

There are a LOT of clones of that HP wheel style.
Look for these:
adr wheels M-Sport
BC Precision Forged Alloys
M SPORT BLACK BIG ONE
But mainly here:

Their Z2 may fit the bill at 18x9.5

which one of those would fit a Khumo 275 40 ZR1? ive been wanting these wheels for a long time now. i like my tires and they have plenty of tread left on them, im content with 17's, or should i go 18 in the rear? i wonder if they could paint them the GM NBM... or would that be to gay?
im looking to buy in april. id just hate to have to buy 4 new khumos when mine are decent.
shes not an Ls1, theres isnt alot i can really do to her. everyone takes ls1 over lt1 anyday.

I always try to help the females around here, but I don't think your going to find any 17's. Unless you want a 7" wide rim.
For that tire size see if you can find a width of 8.5-9.5. If you don't have much money then try looking for a used set of rims. Ebay has several as well.

i have the money, i just just trying to see if they made a wheel to fit my tire i may as well go with it, if not then i guess ill figure somethin out. i can happily bump up to 18's, ill just need new tires.
i also dont know what these replicas are called, so that would differ me from ebay.

Are you saying you want this "HP Evo" style, but in 17" or different rims in general? Your kind of confusing me.
If this style then look at that link I posted. 18x9.5 is a good size. Not too low profile and not too skinny. Plus hard to beat for $200. You'll just need new tires to go with them. You could sell your current ones complete.
I didn't say anything about replicas. I said clones. There's a difference. This HP Evo style is made by a lot of companies, but you won't find them on e-bay.
I just mentioned e-bay because I thought you wanted a different style and there are several 17" styles to choose from on there.
