This has been asked mulitple times. I really like this wheel: http://www.tsw.com/alloy_wheels_nurburgring.php

But I cant get the backspace I need. So have any of you ran across a wheel that looks like that. Required dimensions are 17 x 8 with a 4.75 to 5 backspace. I would like to get a light wheel something under 20 lbs. I dont have a 3K budget but I dont want to cheap out and be unhappy with my decision in a year.

The next requirement is my rear wheel dimensions are yet to be determined (minitub and 3-link are not done yet) my guess is 17 x 9, 9.5 10 with a 6.25" - 7" backspace. So I need a wheel that fits both front and back.

Now that I have you attention; what tires. front size is 245/40(or 45)/17, the back will be a 275 with the same diameter as the front. I am leaning towards michelin pilotsports. is there anything better with a 200 treadwear?

Thanks for reading!

i believe einke, fiske, bbs, or boze are going to be your best chances. mustang was on computer and don't know if close enough to what you want. check these boze as they are similar i think. http://www.bozeforged.com/protouring.html
