Default Show me your small wheels with Spoon/Big brake conversion

I've got a 93 Civic coupe with 17" Volk GT-N's, 17x7 with a 42 offset i believe. I run those on the street and for the track I've got this set of oldschool Enkei's ..not sure what they're called. The size is 15x6.5 40 offset. I really like the size and offset of these wheels, they're the only 15" i've been able to put on my front's, I use them for my 205 50 drag radials. I've been thinking about selling my GT-N's lately..thinking about making my car stand out just a little bit less.

I've been contemplating what I want and I think I'll either be going with Spoon SW388's or SSR Type X's..most likely knockoffs, the roads here are absolutely terrible so I don't want to smash my rims up, even though I've had fairly good luck with my volks.

Anyone have some pics of small wheels ..preferably lower offset..maybe around 30? with the Spoon brakes? or some sort of other brakes somewhat close in size?

To put it this way, you can run stock usdmR/ctR wheels with the spoon calipers. Some people don't like the small amount of space inbetween the caliper and wheel so they run a small spacer around 5mm.
