I'm tring to find a nice set of 17 or 18 wheels for ym car. I'm looking for a think 5 spoke wheel (kinda like an enkie rs5 or the MSR 190) but in black.
Does anybody know of a company that sells what i'm looking for and does anybody have any wheels like this that they are willing to sell. I would just like the wheels as I already have a certain set of tires I want to use.

These are 5-spoke, dark grey. 17x7 Team Dynamics, very good wheels. PM for price. I can remove the tires.

I also have a set of 17x8 Autecs, painted black. I used wheel paint, prepped them well, and wet sanded between coats. They came out fairly well.

Thanx ALOT for the input and pics. But Toolman, I don't really like the look of how the spoke meets the outter part of the wheel. How it widens out. And I would really like to get what I'm looking for, I don't want to compramise wioth something else. I'm sure they are GREAt wheels though.
And Phoenix, I haaver seen those wheels once when I was looking around and though about it. But I don't really like the look of the silver or chorme studs going around the outside of the wheel, or the chrome center cap or the chore bolt that holds the cap on. Other than that, they are just what I'm looking for. I probably would like the look of no center cap, but it has to be made that way. I'm not just going to take of the center cap and call it good.

So what's the widest 18 that will clear the struts (inner) and the fender (outer) with minimal negative camber?

I would guess (and it is only a guess) 8", assuming you are running tires sized to the wheels. Has anyone out there run more than an 8" rim, likely with a 255 to 265 tire, and had it work OK?

This is about what I thought as I have some Momo's left over from my RX7 that are 8" with an ET of 38 and thought I'd just ask as I am hoping they will clear in the rear without a spacer and without rolling the fenders (although that is a possibility if I had to). Otherwise I'll just sell them and get a new set of lightweight 17's.

The MSR190 are available in a dark gray almost black. I had them on my 97 and they looked freakin awesome

Look for posts by Mr95GL

The wheels are on the Gen III in his sig. They do look amazing.
