Rims

i am having some trouble finding a set of rims for my turbo II with the right offset to fill out the wheel well. all of the rims that i can find at the local shops are either a high positive offset (very bad looking on my car) or the correct offset in a really ghetto style. so, that basically leaves me with very few options. i could either get a set of rims with a high positive offset and space the hell out of them or i could spend a load of money on a set of BBS rims. as much as i love BBS rims, i don't really want to drop that kind of money right now.

what have all of you done for rims? is there somewhere that you can point me to so that i can get a set of wheels with a nice offset and good width?

BBS vert wheels look really nice and should be cheaper than brand new ones

Sportmax, now XXR, offers a set of nice fitting, cheap rims. I had a set on my car but recently sold them (wanted to change the car's image).

Here's a pic of my car with the wheels:



Wheels are Sportmax 002's +0 offset, 16x8's.
