Default 17" 9.5?

Anyone know of any decent 17x9.5 wheels with a price comparable to used WS6 wheels?
Or better, staggered 17x8.5 & 17x9.5.

(WS6 wheels are only 9", hence my question.)

Have you tried looking at tirerack or other places as well?

Also don't bother staggering the wheels, just get 17x9.5" all around, it will look better than a skinnier 8.5" front wheel and that way you can rotate tires too. If you want a staggered, aggressive look get a 10.5" or 11" rear wheel with a 315 tire out back, and at least a 9" wide wheel in the front. < NOTE this is not ideal for handling if that matters to you.

I did see tirerack, I hated their wheels.

I found oe after making this post.

I wanted to do staggered 245 + 275, for handling and understeer... is this a bad idea for any reason other than it doesn't look as aggressive / can't rotate front-rear?

(245 won't follow ruts as much)

You want understeer vs being neutral???
275s out front will handle way better, and will give neutral handling with 275s out back (all else equal).
As far following ruts, a wider tire will follow more ruts, however good shocks with help counter it as well as a good (not stock) alignment.
