Hi everyone, my first post here, although I've been reading for months.

I'm looking for a wheel that looks like this:

I've seen it under the name of "Inter Action Vento" and sometimes under the Walpax brand, but they don't come in the right size for my car (7x17s for my E36). Does anyone know of a similar model of a different brand? I've had no luck searching the commonly available brands so far.

Alternatively, I might go for a style 193 replica (I'm on a budget) if they come in 7x17.

Thanks for your time!

don't limit yourself to 17x7". that is silly narrow. 7.5", 8", 8.5", 9" fit all the way around on the e36.

Well, I will take up to 8" if that's all there is in 17" diameter, but I'd rather not go wider than that to keep the handling interesting in the dry. And I'm afraid a bad puncture could cost me a fortune with very wide tires (I had a bolt in my Dunlop Sport Maxxs a while ago).

Also, roads in Belgium are quite badly surfaced and many of my favourite roads are narrow with a very curved surface. Wide fronts tend to hunt around on these roads, jerking the steering around.
