Default What cheap 17" wheels to fit over the Brembos???

Does anyone have a recommendation of cheap 17" (by 7.5" or 8" or wider) that would fit over the brembos? All I can seem to find are the SE Fox 5 (7.5" wide) and the Mille Miglia HT3 (8" wide). I am just using these for track wheels so I really don't care what they look like. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If someone from Discounttiredirect is reading this, is there a such thing as "Scratch & Dent" wheels that might have gotten scuffed during shipping that you sell any cheaper???

Thanks a lot in advance.

That is true, but everyone thinks they are gold and wants to sell them for more than they are worth. $500 for a set of stock wheels? Are you kidding me???

Does anyone know if any of these will fit over the Brembos.

Enkei RPO-2J wheels will fit and they are 17X9's 35mm offset. They only weight 16lbs.

Would you know of anything cheaper? I can get SE Fox 5's for $135 each in 17 x 7.5". I would prefer 8" though....the cheapest I can find for that is Mille Miglia HT3's for about $180 each.

I personally don't care much about weight since I just want to mess around anyway....

here, if they still have them. go about 1/2 way down the page and see the 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 5Zigen Typhoons in Gunmetal for $100/ea. IF not, check the page regularly, as their specials change.

made the call last night and they were gone already. They also said that they wouldn't have fit over the Brembos. The guy said that he will keep his eyes open for me but the TE37's seem to be the only other wheels that he thought would work for me. I don't have that kind of dough though!!

Enkei RPO2J or Enkei RPF1 (if you go with RPF1, you have to get the 8.5" Fronts as the 9" is a rear wheel fitment and will not clear the Brembo's up front).
