I don't think you'll find them in 17 inch.
VividRacing is a registered vendor on this site. Look at their feedback.
Find the shift key on your keyboard.
Use the Search feature or keep it in the Newbie forum. Even in the Newbie forum you'll be told to use the Search feature.

I wouldn't go with them.
Gruppe-s (I think) carries them. Besides, you can drive there.

If all you do is search then why haven't you read any reviews on Vivid?
You still need to find the shift key.

Francis @ A-spec may be able to hunt some down for you.
Also, Gruppe-S makes their own, you can give them a call.

I'd recommend getting them in 18 inch, anyway. These wheels are so light that you'll still see a decrease in rotational mass, even with going to a larger diameter wheel.
What is the reason you want to stay with 17's but go to a 9 inch rim, anyway?

They take in stock Volk wheels to a place that is experienced with cold forged powder coating and have them done up to look just like the Time Attack color scheme. The only difference is the wheels are not stamped "TA".
Here are some examples of what they can do.

Here is a better example of what you can expect if you have Gruppe-S make your own.
Very high quality.

You know how lucky you are to get those wheels my friend. I have guys waiting for it and we had to send it to you cause you were first come first serve. Only set out there. Lucky man you are.
