Need help! Looking for 17x9 rims.

Ok guys, I'm looking for a set 17x9 rims, would consider 17x9.5 also. Here's the thing, I want to spend less than 1000.00 for wheels, and the must clear front brakes without spacers. Also offset doesn't need to be more than +30.
I'd really like to find a set of 5zigen FN01RCs but seeing as they have been discontinued for a while, I'm probably never going to find a set. What's my other options?

This was one of my top choices, but I've read mixed reviews saying they need a 5mm soccer to clear front brakes.

I own that car & have mounted & dismounted the wheels many times. There is approx .125"+ of clearance. No spacer needed

But I have reworked the rear fenders quite a bit to fit the 275's

I would probably just stick with 255/40/17s, unless I could fit a 265/40/17, my fenders are already rolled. Do you have a pic angled from the side so I can see the profile of the rims?

Enkei PF01SS is available in 17x9 +35 mm. Weighs 19 lbs. Clears the calipers with plenty of space. Excellent specs from a reputable manufacturer, and price for four is approximately $1000. If you want 17x9.5, I'd say Enkei NT03+M, but I think they are likely to be a bit more than $1K for four.
