Default Has anyone seen this...?

So I've done some poking around and searching and what not, and havent been able to find anything as of yet, but heres my goal. I'd like to find some WIDE rims that look as close to stock as possible. 17x8.5 is about the widest i hear will fit, correct? I'm turbo, but i need to get some more rubber on the ground, but i really want to keep my stock/sleeper look as much as as possible so "loud" styled wheels are out of the question in my book. Has anyone seen/come across anything like this?

Thanks in advance.

how much power you pushing to need more rubber on the road? IMO i think an 8" wide will be fine and look the best? Thats just me.

Those look pretty good, thanks guys. I'm only putting down about 230whp/wtq right now, however once i get my clutch and flywheel installed (just waiting for the stocker to give out lol) I'll be cranking up the boost to about 8.5 psi or so. Since LSD isnt in the plans yet (i want it, but cant install it and its pricey) more rubber and better tires are the only solution for now.
