Unhappy Rims

Can anyone help me? I have a friend in the tire busniess and he can get me tires and rims at cost but only deals with tires when we went to buy rims at some shops he does busniess with they told me the 17 inch rims in the back are not standard and they couldnt find me rims that whould fit.
I have a touring model with 17 on front and back and he can buy rims from anywhere and was wondering where I could get rims to fit? Thanks

Are you serious? You need to find a rim with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and offset somewhere around +25.

Just go to the vendor classifieds on this forum and they all sell rims. I reccommend RevHigh online. He was awesome to deal with and I got my wheels in 3 days.

if you're going to buy rims, why in the world would you want to stick with 17" rims? Get 18's. They're going to make your car look and handle a lot better. Heck, even the factory 18" rims are way better looking than the stock 17"'s....If you simply want to keep the same tires and just replace the rims, then wait until you wear out the stock tires before shopping for rims...

Well since you guys are talking about rims and offsets. Wanted a opinion on the what offset to use for the rims and tires I bought. I bought Giovanni Genoa's Chrome, 18x8.5 back and front. Had to wait like forever for 19x9.5. Anyway, I bought Falken GRB FK 451's 235/35/18 fronts and 275/35/18 rears. What offset do you recommend? Any a advice would help, and thanks. Was thinking something like 23, 24.

Can you offset them after you buy the rims? I thought you had to buy them already offset?
