Wheel help
Does anyone know who makes steel wheels that are 17x9 with a 5x100 pattern that are similar to these?

tanz's, sorry i don't know where to find steel wheels that fit your car, so i'm no help there, but i think you've got nothing to worry about. just look at the gst "L", they have rota's and track the **** out of that thing with no problems!
just my $0.02, good luck with whatever you decide man!

Also, the DPT's are expensive. Unless someone wants a set of Work Nezarts for $800 I can't afford them. Steel and mag wheels are cheap and will add to different touch to the look of the car.

I have jumped my rota's and not bent them or broke them... I'm not talking bunny hops too.... Course that was not my new ones..
They work and look so nice I just bought a new set.

Alright guys, don't kill me over this. I was just going off the info that I looked up. I guess the company got better over the years. I track my car. I love the look of the DPT's, but don't have the money for the rims and then tires. The rims that I am looking for are cheap and very strong and will give the car a different style. Now, if I could afford the DPT's, believe me I would get them.

Tanz,
I'm going to go out on a limb and say there's nothing made in that size unless it's custom - which will be way more than a set of alloys. Anything in that size is going to be a truck rim that has to be custom drilled and will have offset around 4 inches too low. Steel wheels that big are also going to be pretty heavy. FWIW, you see steel wheels in Nascar because they're 15x9.5" or so; they're not a large diameter wheel, and I wouldn't trust a low-profile tire on a wide steel wheel. They run them on 4wd's and stock cars, etc, because they can get a little bent without losing the bead, becuase those are full contact sports......
Also, the wheel you posted a picture of is actually an allow wheel, it's just a nascar-style wheel.

Thanks Sybir. I posted the Nascar wheel because it's the style of rim I was looking for. I thought that there just might be someone out there who makes that type of wheel for our car. The offset is not an issue as was planning on going wide body.
