Pretty sure you can get 17" steel rims, I'll talk to the guy I got my spun alloy rims from on Monday. Why not 17" spun alloy? These are the ones I'm building for the Speedster, kinda outlaw race style as opposed to the standard Porsche center. Spun alloy rim with steel centre and "drum skinz" from the states which represent 550 Spyder drums.
