Need to Find Original Rims (or good alternative)

So I found the Rim design I wanted:



Which I wanted to put on my baby:




The problem is, it only appears to be available in the following specs:

17x7
18x7.5
Bolt Pattern: 4x100, 4x114.3, 4x108, 5x100, 5x114.3

Which I dont believe will fit our TL...

I heard that Motegi usually 'copies' others. Does anybody know if theres an 'original' version of this design or perhaps a good alternative/substitute? Photoshop anybody?

Try the SSR - GT7 on Tire Rack's website. I think they are pretty similar and was considering them myself. Great job on your headlights. Looks good.

Volk TE37's look pretty similar, as do the Buddy Clubs.

Are these buddy clubs?





I like how the motegi's extend all the way to the rim. The rims above cut in...which makes the wheel look smaller imo

The "original" version of those Motegi rims are Yokohama T7s. Yokohama rims are high quality and expensive but non-forged rims.

Here's the official website:

http://www.yokohamatire.jp/yrc/japan...lt7/index.html

They come in several sizes that fits your car:

18x8 or 19x8 5x114.3 +45 or +38
18x9 or 19x9 5x114.3 +45
