I really wanted to know what is the best offset, which I know there are threads that are about that. I may have to research those, but I wanted rims that look like these Enkei rims http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Enkei-Sc...sQ5fAccessories
However, I wanted 17x8's and in silver color and NOT universal looking, meaning I want exactly 5 bolts/pattern. Any recommendations, some with a good if not perfect offset? My friend had some BBS on his 2nd gen eclipse before it got killed by a honda (an idiot driver), and his tires were very wide and the wheels were flush and perfect on his. 17x7 just seems too small of a tire to me, doesn't give that aggressive look.

Those look pretty sweet. I like them. But I can't imagine your car with any other wheels! Those wheels on it now scream Random_Stranger. Nobody else is allowed to have wheels like that. Those are only you. But.. I like what you are looking at as well. I hope you can find a set.

Those are only you. But.. I like what you are looking at as well. I hope you can find a set. LOL Honestly, I felt that way too. When I look at it, even though it looks silly to people at first, eventually they get what I was trying to do with it. However, it was only a temporary thing just to stand out and look a bit different until I could actually make the car into a true GT-Four (in a sense). Just something I have been looking into, I kind of would rather have a more stock look, and I don't want to keep the rims because I do want to paint the car red (it's original color), as the car is just begging to go back to it's natural color as this colorful paint chips. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
