Default Who makes or sells good 17" wheels? (17x7.5, x8, x9, or x9.5)

I'm looking 17" wheels: Widths 7.5 or ideally 8" at the front. 9" to 9.5" at the rear. Lightweight, and, of course, with a Porsche compatible bolt pattern (5 x 130). Ideally with a similar offset to stock wheels, but if a little or a lot higher (but not in between), spacers can be used. They don't need to be the lightest wheels in the world, though it would be tough to accept moving to something heavier than the stock 17s.

My car is a 996.2, by the way, though I can imagine some wheels for earlier 911s, as well as Boxsters and Caymans would also work for me.

(I also started a similar thread on the 996 forum almost a week go - completely forgot there was a wheel and tire forum until a few minutes ago.)

Anyway, any suggestions about manufacturers or retailers would be great!

Thanks!

Why do you want such narrow wheels for your 996?

The sizes I'm looking for are actually wider than stock (which is 7" front, 9" rear).
