I'm looking for a set of wheels that I can get 17x8s that will get me by until I can get a good set of american racings. Any idea?

Probably your cheapest approach would be to get a set of late model Ford 17x8s with the 5.95" backspacing and then get a set of 1.25" custom spacers (around $150 on eBay). You should be able to get into this kind of set up for around $500 total if you shop it right. That said, for an extra $500 you can get the correct TTIIs...

Good luck.

Yeah, if thats the cheapest I'll be able to get a set, I would be better off just waiting and getting the TTIIs
