Need advice on new rims

Hi,

a little background: today i took of the tires of my old volk rays rims which should go to refurbishing next week. Unfortunately i found a cut in in of them, so refurbishing became impossible .
I'm now after nice new rims, but most are just ugly for me. What i want is: 17*8-9,5 and a 5 spoke design. maybe i get 18" but then i have to sell my new tires :S.

Those are rims i like but are either way too expensive (volk gt-c) or don't come in the dimensions i need.






Do you know any other rim that meets my demands? i know i won't get <10kg forged rims again . Thanks for help!

I would recommend that you start going through the wheels threads because there are a lot of options out there.

Ive always loved AVS model 5's, make sure you get good offsets and it will look nice.
