17" "Stock looking" wheels?

Hey, does anyone know of any wheels out there available in 17x8.5"-17x9"-17x9.5" sizes that look like stock wheels? I know about SSR integrals, but those have straight spokes, the stock spokes have quite a bit of contour to them. TIA.

Are '99 rims 16" or 17"? Although they're not as wide as you want

The '99 wheels are available in 17x8.5", but I meant I wanted something resembling the '93-'95 style wheels.

Question

do you mind me asking wh yyou want somethnig so close to stock? usually an upgrade of wheels means you want a change in looks along with performance.

The enkei RP01's (I think thats what they are) are thin. 5 spokes (thinner than stock) that have some curve to them.

I dont think you will find anything exactly like stock, and do you care? Are you infatuated with the stock rims?

The SSR integrals are similar, but you are right, they are more straight than stock

The ENKEI RP01 was the most stock fd looking 17" wheel on the market - BUT they have been discontinued so would be hard to find

Hey Rich,

We could have saved you some good money on your Volk purchase. But congrats anyways. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
