Help Me Find A Wheel

For the last several weeks, I've been looking to get some nicer wheels for my car. I was hoping that you guys, i-club members, can help me out. I'm looking for some 17s. For the width, i want at least 8 inches, but I would like to the get the widest witdth as possible before I start rubbing the inside rim. I would like to get the lowest offset as possible that clears Endless 6-pot calipers, or at least Brembos for now. And for the weight, I would them to be less than 16lbs each.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Welcome to the land of Volks. Prepare to pay big time. I don't know about the fit over endless 6 pistons though. You'll probably have to test fit a lot of wheels before finding the right one.

volks are ok, but seriously tho... YOU DONT NEED NEW WHEELS RYAN!!! what you have right now is fine! save your money for suspension, and the actual brakes themselves! the wheels you have will clear the brembos!!

also, to find something that's as wide as possible, with the lowest offset possible, that'll clear endless, and weigh only 16 pounds? man, good luck.....too many good things in one wheel, and if you find them, can you say *ka-ching*? lol. but it's all up to you man, all up to you....

Yea, finding something fitting all those requirements will cost a pretty penny. If you're willing to have them be about 19-20lbs, Rota makes good wheels that will clear bigger brakes.

I running on a set of rotas - props to henry. but, later in life, I will be upgrading.

I don't want to get a set of Volks cause everyone and their mother has them.
Anyone know if the RGIIs come in 17x9 for 5x100?
