Default 17" wheels so limited.

Its seems we are so limited for wheels in the 17" size ( stock size,5bolt pattern)
I would love to have something like these but don't come in my size.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks

why not just get 17" y2ks? They look almost the exact same.

I have brand new 17" tires now.
Not in a big rush right now and I know 18" wheels have a better choice but just wanted to get an idea of whats out there.

There is actually a good amount of wheels, it's just a matter of what actually looks good & what doesn't.

If you want a set like you pictured above, buy a set of 17" C5 Y2K wheels in polished & have them powder coated whatever color you want.

Do you have a link to other sites. I thought I covered them all.

I was thinking of getting mine black chromed for a change. But I want something different.
Thanks

You can just do a yahoo search for aftermarket wheels & there are tons of online stores. some have some ok stuff some might not carry a single option. TomzWheels is always a good option & board sponsor. Sometimes he can also get you stuff not listed on his site.
