15x8 in 5x100 a pipedream?

[Golf Houso]

As most of you other member have probably already noticed, its nigh on impossible to find wide wheels in the 5x100 pattern in generally smaller sizes domestically. Does anyone have any leads or places where they have encountered wide wheels in a 15? I'm even talking about 7.5's here...

sportmaxx do 15x8 in et15 or et 0... that's a lotta poke.

they're kinda lame though...

rayray widened his golf 4 15" steelies. they're a few bits and pieces floating around on ebay.

You could do widened steelies as you have an 8" barrel and you get whatever offset you want so +20 front +10 rear whatever. You'd have to really want them though as they're not cheap.

Yeah not a lot of off-the-shelf wheels in 15x8 5x100 configuration, so your best bet is in 3-piece wheels.

Fair enough, I gave some guys who made superlites a call and I asked them for a set of 15x7 ET12 and 15x7 ET25 and they were reluctant to go on because they could not confirm whether or not the calipers would clear on the front with such a high ET. And all the 8's were in negative ET's anyway so they were ruled out. They were around 275 each which wasn't to bad I guess.

I'll just have to keep looking, do you folks have any suggestions of places to look for wheels or some nice workable 3 piece rim manufacturers?
