Help with finding wheels

I have been looking for wheels, but can't seem to find what I want.

I have looked at Crager, Eagle Alloy, American Racing, etc... But am having a hard time finding the style wheel I want.

I want a 'road race' kind of wheel. Like a web or spoke style, with a 2 or 3 peice look.

I would really like to see a wheel like this, with white center, and polished or chrome rim.


Looking for 17x9.5" with 5 1/2 " BS.


Can anyone help?

Depending on your budget, many road racers use CCW (Complete Custom Wheels) rims. They are a 3 piece wheel, super light, very durable, and look great (IMHO). Take their center section, and powdercoat it white if that's what ya like. I've got the black mesh centersection, 17x10's front and 17x11's rear.
