Thumbs up Looking for similar wheel with correct offset



Well one of my wheels is bent so I figured I might as well buy some new wheels since they no longer make that model anymore. I was all set on new wheels when I saw that they were only offered in 35mm offset. From the wheel fitment guide it shows it needs to be a 55mm offset to fit on an 8.5"-9" wheel.
They are really nice and only like $100 a wheel so I was all set on them. Since they are not the correct offset anyone know any similar wheels that are similarly priced and have the correct offset to be able to fit? I would like them in 17" size and 7" wide in the front and 8.5-9" width in the rear.
Any suggestions of a good wheel similar to this one?Sport Max 962 wheel

Price is definitely important as I don't have the cash at the moment to really spend over $500

it is REALLY hard to get cheap rims in good offsets for the S.

damn those are some sexy rims for 98 bucks. but you get what you pay for.

Hmm oh well guess I might just go with some oem 16" wheels then. I highly doubt though that a $2,000 set of wheels is really $1500 better quality. Most of the added price with rims is cause of the name not quality. Now I'm sure they will be a little better in regards to bending or scratching and such but still for another $1500 I would have to be loaded to consider it.
