Default black rim chrome lip

I keep on hitting dead ends. I want a black rim with a chrome lip in a 17" rim. I need it to be able to run a 275 tire and cost under 300 a rim. I wanted the privat profil's but they are no longer made. I like the drift r's by roh but no longer made in 17s. I tried a couple of places with no luck. What are my choices i'm starting to give up. thanks in advance!

if you have pics please post

Dude, black zr1's i got a full set for like $450. When the whole wheel is black it's a little hard to tell design so it's a cheap alternative to expensive wheels.

Just my opinion on the matter.

As for pics, there are many ls1's with black ZR1's so just look them up

went to discount tires since they are everywhere in phoenix they went to order them and said they dont make them anymore. So i went home called discount tires they said they do so i called up konig(makers of privat) and asked them directly and they said no longer made. So i called discount tires to verify they dont have any in the warehouse and they said nope also called konig and they said up no longer made. So i searched ebay found a set for sale. Call to order them and they dont have them in stock so i said can you check your supplier they called back and said they dont have any and the wheel is no longer made...well it is but not in a 17" rim only 18"s for our camaros. I dont want 18s just bought tires but got a dented rim. If anything i'll go down to 15's if i cant find a rim i like. 18s just dont hook

Check out Niche wheels. I really like the Niche Venice.

Ruff Wheels are another option.

AZA Wheels are another I have recently come across.

There are tons of wheel places out there. Just gotta hunt around.
