Im in love with the rota formula mesh wheels
Is it absolutely impossible to buy them in 17x7.5? This is killing me! Would I notice any ill side effects if I went up to an 18" wheel? I think a silver pair of these would look amazing on my 06.

Formula Mesh's only come in 18x8 to my knowledge.

Well to be honest I never was a wheel and tire guru, so this is going to sound stupid I suppose. Can't I get low profile tires and keep the same overall total diameter of my wheel + rubber? Or does it still make a difference. I understand the effects if I get a bigger wheel, and thats what I don't want to happen :s.

Are these the BBS copies, I seen them on one car where he put BBS center caps on them and they looked fantastic. I thought about it myself but I just can't go there. And there is NO WAY I am paying like 4g's for the reals.

Not even hyper silver? 
And you would be surprised dude. Theres a lot of **** that goes on here because of all the punk *** kids running around. I can count on two hands kids in the last couple weeks I know of that are getting charged with felonies and I know others that steal **** ALL the time, including wheels. And then theres the kid that killed his mom a month or two ago. People get held up with guns for drugs. Drugs make the world go round apparently :/.
