Does anyone actually have a nice set of 17 rims, that AREN'T OEM?

I was wondering if anyone has actually bought a decent set of nice 17's that aren't OEM.

I was wondering because I got 19's but am thinking about using 17's for the winter, etc. And I wanted to know if there are any other options besides the OEM rims...

If anyone is running a decent set, could you post pics??

Thanks!

I have the '04 17" OEM wheels chromed. Look pretty good on a WDP TL.
Check over on the Tire Rack site as there are about 65 wheels available in 17".

I know CL-Slick has some on his 03 SSM CL-S, Motegi somethings. They look pretty nice. Gunmetal with chrome lip, IIRC.

I am in the market for some new rims and I am interested in keeping the 17's

I have NEVER been a person that likes anything over 16's in the past. I see that a lot of people run the 18s and 19s - But that seams a little big for my liking...

Anyone else running some nice 17" wheels???

17" wheels i always thought were a bit small on our cars, i feel like they didnt fill out the wheel well but the two pictures on here they look great!
the Enkei RPF1's look way to small imo.
