Default Looking for 17's

I really want to get rid of my heavy 18's and pick up some 17's. I am most interested in getting OZ SL's and don't like the Ultraleggera's. Anybody know anyone selling used ones? I have already checked classifieds, ebay, and local craigslist.

Suggestions?

Thanks to Paul_858 for the pic

OZ SL's will be DAMN hard to find.

SSR's are very light, nice quality, look great, and have your 17'' needs.

Default no harder to find than the SSRs though since they're discontinued ;)

I def like the SSRs more than the SLs I have though... but I just couldn't justify the $$ to get 'em.

Default I have read on other boards that those bend easily on public roads.

I can't believe that is true. Is it?

Default Well, I remember years back Josh Decker (previous owner of achtuning) he told me that the SSR's are

pretty weak. But if I were you... Head to the B5 S4 forum and ask around, there are quite a few guys over there running SSR's.
