Default Black thin spoke wheels?

I have a black 92 with 17x9.5 sawblades (275/40R17).. But am considering changing to the black thin spoke..same size wheel as above..

Questions

What back spacing will I need?
Who makes a descent rim??

I read a thread here.. That a supporting vender was selling a set for something like $500.00.. Anyone see these rims?? Thoughts

Thanks in advance..

I believe the offset is 56mm.. Most of the lower price rims are China made but alot of guys use them with good results... If your going with a black rim on a black car you may want to get a chrome or colored lip, I have seen black cars without the chrome lip and it doesn't look to good in my opinion, you need something to break up all that black or it just all runs together, if you get my meaning....WW
