Default Looking for 17x7.5 wheels, any recommendations?

I am looking for some 17x7.5 wheels with either a 38 or 35 offset. I found some sick Exels on wheelmax.com but a lot of people say they are junk. Anyone wish to comment or recommend another wheels in that size.

What are you looking for in a wheel? Lightweight for performance or appearance only? A 17X8 with the same offset will also fit just fine so dont limit yourself to the 7.5 wide.

I would like to keep the stock tires until they are worn out. I want something that looks nice and will fill out the fender to tire gap. I've checked out the 5zigen wheels but they are out of my price range. I like the price of the Exel wheels but not if they are going to bend when I hit a small bump in the road. I'd like to keep it under $200 a wheel.

SubyDude has a ton of Rota wheels for under $200 a wheel...we share the Subaru 5x100 bolt pattern so a lot of the wheels will fit. Most of them are +45 offset but they are avialable in the +35 offset you ar looking for. The have a group buy going on here: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=96095

Might be worth looking at.

I checked it out but wasn't to impressed with Rotas wheels. Thanks for checking though.
