One of the things I'd like to do to my daytona is to put on some 17x7" or 17x7.5" rims. Two main reasons. One, I'm of the understanding that the wheel widths I can put on rims those size would contribute greatly to the vehicle's handling as there is alot more tire than stock gripping the road. Second is so at a later date I can have the caliper clearence if I decide to go with bigger brakes.
And my problem is thus: I want a wheel that that has the correct backspacing and offset (and whatever other terms are applicable here) that is not rice. When looking for rims, all I seem to be able to find is a) rice b)rather likely functional but ugly. I don't want a chrome rim that I can use as a mirror to shave in, nor do I want a wheel with overyl flashy spokes that would probably shear right off from the hub the moment I went WOT. I wonder if I am being too particular. What I'd like is something with a 5 spoke patterm with the spokes being narrow but not too much, slightly swept back instead of sticking straight out. Or something that is the spitting image of the pentastar. I do recall seeing a rim that was freaking PERFECT when I was in a tire shop several months ago but I was broke, the rim was discontinued and the one on the wall was display only since they only had one.
Does anybody know of a place I can go to find something along the lines of what I am looking for? It needs to be functional, and nice looking and not ricey or flashy.
