We all know how much fun it is to find wider wheels for our 5x100 pattern setups. I've decided that I need new wheels, something lightweight and in a 17x7 in front and 18x8 or 9 in the rear. The problem is that I can't seem to find a matching set.
I really like SSR wheels and they might have what I need in the GT-7 or competition but I'm not certain yet.
Anybody else have any ideas? My limit is about 500-600 per wheel.
Looking for 17x7 18x8 wheel combo

Thanks for the link JM. The RT's in black were exactly what I was looking for!
Now for offset questions. I believe I currently have 17x7 with 42mm offset in the front (These just barely stick out of the wheelwell) and 17x8 with 38mm offset in the rear (Fit nicely)
What offsets should I go with? I'm thinking a 17x7 in the front with a 40mm offset (This should move it in 2mm right?) and 18x9 in the rear, but I have no clue on what offset I should run in the rear. 18x9 should fit (I already have Held coil-overs)
Any suggestions?

To move it in 2mm you'd want a 44mm offset.
I've got 17x7 with 48mm offset on the front of my 88. Looks great, IMO. Although you'll want to clearance the control arms a little to avoid the back lip of the rim from rubbing on them at full lock. On the back I've got 18x7.5 with 42mm offset. I'd go with 42 or 45mm offset in back. Not sure how high you can go before running into clearance issues.
