Default Factory Rim Question

I've got a WS-6 and had the 5 star 17inch wheels on it.

My question is can anyone tell me where i can find the 17x11 rims in a 5 star.
I know at one time there was a group purchase on chrome 5 star rims, but was wondering if anyone still sells the 5 stars in chrome AND 17x11 instead of polished 17x9.5?

thanks for any input,
rob

here is a pic of the look i was looking for, even though i'm not for sure that is the 17x11's on the back......fronts can be 17x9.5 though




trying to put 315's on the back, and keep it looking right with the right size 5 star rims.
