GT/CS style Wheels out there?

[Sal33n]

I absolutely love these wheels on my CS! However, I want to eventually run a square setup with at least 275 or wider down the road and I believe these wheels are only nine inches.

Has anyone seen after market wheels that resemble anything like these?

Should be able to fit 275 onto these wheels.

According to their specs table on TireRack.com, you can put a Continental Extreme Contact DW 275 width tire on a 19x9 or 20x9 wheel no problem.

I just worry about sidewall bulge going too big. Don't want to lose performance on the twisty roads.

I don't think it will be bulge that much. We are talking about 2cm total so 1cm wider each side than the factory 255's.
I have done 225 to 245 on my RX-8 and the side wall looked pretty square to me on a 8 inch wheel.
As for sidewall stiffness, it has more to do with the tires. After I used up the 245's on the RX-8, I went back to 225, it still felt softer compare to factory tires.

Still curious to know of any after market rims resemble the CS wheels.
