Default BBK + Sexy wheels

So, I've seen the Stoptech BBK + wheel fitment thread. That thread is ancient.

I want to know if anyone has figured out if there are any sexier wheels I can put on? I don't like the vanilla look of thin spokes for my wheels. I really DO love the TE37 look, but can't seem to find them in a high offset variant.

I'm looking for a wheel that's 17x9 to 17x10, relatively high offset (so it can fit BBK). I'd like for the car to be extremely practical and have no rubbing at all. Not at full lock, not over speed bumps. I don't want my fenders to crumple into beer cans just because I had my wheels at full lock going over a speed bump.

I'll be on stock fenders.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks,
Mark

That thread is nice, but few people list their specs. I can go through asking every single person, but at the moment, it looks like most people run the endless system (which doesn't seem as vouched for, for real proven track performance) with 18'' TE37s. I'm not going to be looking at 18'' wheels for my setup.

How about you explain the setup you are going for and also say if you are willing to roll fenders or other important details about what you are looking to do. Something a little more than "want s3xy wheel with BBK."

Updated as per the mod's request.

I want a 17x9 to 17x10 wheel that will clear the BBKs and not require new fenders. I'm willing to pull/flare my fenders a bit (I have a fender roller tool), but I do not want to have to buy new fenders. This is not a stance build - this is a tracking build. I just dislike the standard wheels everyone uses to clear their bbks and would hope for something better looking - like TE37s.

Get in touch with CCW wheels to have them custom-make something for you.

Wedsport's new wheel comes in the sizes you want and is BBK friendly. I would still check with a vendor to make sure whatever brake kit you are using fits.
WedsSport SA72R 17" Wide Spec

You'd have to ask evasive what the BBK fitment is on these.
Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Volk Racing CE28N Wheels (Set of Four) - 17x10 / 5x114.3 / Offset +44

Speaking from experience finding 17x10's is tough and finding them in the +45 or higher offset isn't easy. A custom wheel like CCW will let you pick exactly what you want but it is going to be pricey not that volks are cheap.
