Default Having trouble finding black chrome Saleens in 17inch

Anybody know of some places with black chrome Saleens? I keep finding places with only 18's and I want to reuse my tires up front and reuse the rear till I can get some 275 next summer. I think 17's would be plenty big enough and I think the color will look great on Mineral Grey. Myw ife really likes the silver but I don't think they would look right on a MG car with mostly black accents. What do you guys think? Also if you know of any places that would ship free to Alaska that would be a plus because I am still here for another year

Edit: It seem sunless you have the money to buy 18's and then tires too Chrome is about all i can find. I really see no point for me to buy 18's Any other websites with some 17" Saleens?

The only saleens that come in a 17" are chrome.

Ugh it's hard to find good wheel pics for my color. I don't think I want the cobra r's. So you guys don't think that the chrome 17 saleens would look good? I am up in the air myself I hate being so damn picky

Well if need be I will just find another wheel. I can't really afford 18's and tires too. And after looking at tire prices 18's are even more out of my range. I just can't find anything I really like on new edges besides these. Esp mineral grey. It seems to be a hard color to really compliment ya know.
