Which 17" black w/ polished lip wheels?

What are some 17" wheels that are black w/ polished lips that would fit an evo? Preferably as light as possible.

thanks, I tried but I didn't really say anything I really liked... I don't know how much I like 5-spokes in black...

Would wheels that are 18x7.5, 5x114.3, ET: 42 fit with spacers?

I suggest powered coat with finished lip your Enkeis. Cheaper and looks just as good.

why would you want 7.5!??!?!that's slimer than stock.5zigen makes them w/o using spacers,and fits the evo fine.your not searching hard enough,and 13 posts proves that i know more about you than you think.

I realized that, I was just looking at them... Thanks though.

I think I realized why I don't like most black 5-spoke w/ lips... b/c the center is always silver

The Volk LE28N's in gloss black come 17 x 8.5 with a +35 offset if I remember correctly. I don't think they have a +45 offset at all. I could be wrong though. For our Evo's you want to find an offset between 30-40 if you don't want to use spacers.

Ok, the +45 I was asking about was for a different wheel... what size spacers would i need and would there be any adverse effects?
