    Stock steel rims in alloy?

    Is there any place online that sells these same rims but made out of alloy in 18-17" in black and maybe something lil more wide to fit some wide low-profile tires? Not wide as in way out of proportion but something wide enough.

    Real cars are not FWD.
    FWD at it's best -

    i cant think of a reason why they would make that size rims, in alloy, looking that cheap..


    and i cant think of a big car which has them standard, most of the luxury cars come with alloy wheels.. You could try BMW 5series standards though, i think those are the same size!

    You can`t make a rim like that out of alu. you need much more aluminium to get the same strength as a steel rim like that. maybee someone can make a "lookalike".. but I guess not.. not much fancy with that rim mate...

    Just get a 17" steel wheel, have it widened, and polish it.
