Ya but a 17x8 with a zero offset for the front?
And the rear 17x9 with a 20 offset?
Im not a rim expert but I dont think those are the right offsets we need.

the front is a slight problem, the rear is perfect.

$300 and you can buy any depth lips you want

I've always been a fan of the SSR Reverse or Formula mesh in 17x9 or 10... I could never find a set in the right offsets though.

I contacted enkei directly- no dice.
Work- you have to go through local dealers and they were not much help

there is the shop on ebay that always sells nice work and bbs wheels, RE A as well

i feel the same way, but you can have a functional fitment without killing looks...the TE37's you posted could have been done to look good, and be functional.

TE's need some kind of concave to them

that is a good price for the bbs' but its still a little too pricey. gold konig remembers look very similar to the rs.

As requested, more pics
Note the front spoiler was painted black. I think it helps set the front end off.

advans are not for me as I think they are ugly! And a few of my friends had 18" rims on thier fc and I think those look to big up front and too much hassle. Now a 17 in the front ans 18 in the rear could work.
