Suggestions for cheap, ugly, 17x8 rims for track tires?

Anyone know of any decent 17x8 rims that fit over the MT brakes that I can use for track tires? I wanna go with 17s for the track for the bigger sidewall and for the much much cheaper tires. I can basically buy a set of rims with the cost difference between 18 and 17 inch Toyo RA-1s.

Evo, late STI and Mustang wheels should all fit. You might have to open up the center a tiny bit for the Mazda hub other than that bolt pattern and offset will work.

That's not right, I know of a website that has the 245/40/18 RA-1 for around 155 a piece so less than 700 bucks shipped for all 4. I'll get the URL when I get home, it's bookmarked there.
