How much are you willing to spend???
Panasports makes them, but we're talking like $500+ each easily?

The ad says nothing about the wheels, but those things are Watanabe RS-8's.

oh yeah also, do you know if they come in a "deep dish" i mean i still only want about 17x7, or 17x8 for the front and 17x8 or 17x9 in the back but having a nice deep set lip would be soooo sweet!
