Eagle Wheels on 2004

I just mounted my stock Michelins on a set of Eagle 118's. The reason I did this is because my father in law got a good deal on them so he bought 8. He gave me a set of 4 so I went down to Les Schwaab on Friday and had my stock tires mounted on them, figured I would run them in the summer. I knew before I put them on that the offset wouldn't be right, but I really don't like the way they look. Also the next morning one of them was almost flat, The wheel has a hole in the casting. I need to go to the distributor and get that one replaced. I had to put my other wheels on to get me throught the weekend.

Does anyone know if eagle makes a wheel in a 17 X 8 with a 6" backspacing that I might be able to exchange these for. Please let me know if you have any ideas in how I might be able to get somewheels that won't stick out so far.

Thanks, Joe
