Stock SS Wheel Look Alikes?

I know this had been brought up before, but I searched found a thread that said Edge Racing sells SPortmax Wheels that look like them, but couldn't find them.

***The Reason I Want Stock Looking Wheels!*****

Had a set of aftermarket 17"s, somebody smashed the window out and stole them. Bought a new set of 17"s this time parking in the garage, somebody broke the lock on my garage and stole them.

I want stock look wheels so they don't get stolen. The theifts were over a 2 year period, so it's not like they were back to back.

Anybody have any ideas. I realize it's not worth it to swap the hubs out as they are $125 a piece used here locally, but would like bigger wheels than 16"s.

i dont know where to get the rims you want but what does breaking the window have to do with stealing wheels? if you had wheels in you backseat and trunk thats just like giving them away. and if they were on the car when they were stolen you need to get yourself a few wheel locks on each wheel to deter theives.

I had wheel locks. The key was locked away in the glove box, hence the broken window. I couldn't keep the key at home because I have nobody locally that has a key to my apartment.

I have an alarm. Last time they did it while it was thunderstorming.

Okay I don't care what I should have done... lol. I would like the polished SS wheels, if they don't make a set, I will just save for the conversion.

The price isn't whats keeping me from doing it, I just don't want to advertise my car anymore.
