There are zero rims made for direct stock replacement.
Certainly not for autocross.
I have been on a feverish hunt to find wheels in the following specs:
17x7.5" 5x114.3 wheels with an offset of 25 to 30.
17x8" 5x114.3 wheels with an offset of 28-33.
This is god slammed rediculous! I can't be the only autoxer looking for rims!
Enkei RPF1's are all sold out everywhere. I mean everywhere. National backorder until "T.B.A." Not to mention that the offset on the 17x7.5 is like forty freaking eight, and I don't want to run spacers.
The 5Zigen FNO1R's don't come in a 17x7.5, but they do come in a 17x8. But guess what? Offset is 25.
F to the U to the C to the K

looks like custom wheels are in your future.
www.ccwheel.com
quoted for 2050 for 17x9 F and 17x10 R.
would probably cost you around $2000.
i remember somebody selling a set of custom made enthusiast fitment wheels for fairly cheap on scca forums. will try to dig it up.

I feel you're pain. When I was looking I finally gave up and bought some nice wheels for the street, LE37s, and used my stock wheels for the R-comps.
Have you looked at Volks/Rays? Pricey, but light.
If you're interested I may be selling one of my sets of Track wheels. Not BS legal for you're car, which I kinda agree is BS, but I'm not sure who'll care around here. I got to drive Stephen's STi again...........DAMN.....decisions

My 2 cents - just use the stock wheels and stuff some 275 tires on them. Otherwise just forget about staying in BS and buy some nice wide 17's that will really do the car justice.

If you are selling a set of the track wheels let me know, I'd like a set of those regardless.... I'll send you a PM
I still haven't driven Steven's car. I doubt he'd evere let me, I don't think he cares much for me for some reason.
So you talk to him any more about the STU2?
Yeah, I've looked at Rays and Volk..... and I don't really want to spend $2k just for the metal rollers.

Not to mention that the tires don't last so long when you drive them daily......I don't care about looks or size.... I care about function, and I want to race in a stock class......

I may have a set for sale after Nationals.

Enkei RPF1's are all sold out everywhere. I mean everywhere. National backorder until "T.B.A." Not to mention that the offset on the 17x7.5 is like forty freaking eight, and I don't want to run spacers.
The 5Zigen FNO1R's don't come in a 17x7.5, but they do come in a 17x8. But guess what? Offset is 25.
F to the U to the C to the K

I will exercise every option before I shell out tons of money for rims. I'll continue to post my findings.

Fronts 25-35, but I obviously wouldn't want more than the stock of 30.
Rears 28-38 but I don't want to go over the stock of 33.
Not to mention that the only fno1r's that I can find in stock are 25 not 35.
