Help me shop for wheels for my RX-7!!! (Need suggestions)

I recently damaged one of my wheels, and it cannot be repaired. Ideally, I'd like to find another wheel of the same design (SuperLicense 17" x 8.5" 3-piece alumniums), but I am having great difficulty locating these wheels. So, I'm gonna have to replace all four with something different. Here's the criteria for what I need/want:
  • Wheels must fit my Bridgestone Potenza tires (front: 235/45ZR17, rear: 255/40ZR17).
  • The price of all four must be below $1000.
I'd prefer a 3-piece/2-piece alumnium wheel, but I will consider any design (as long as it is not some oversized, blinged-out, rap-star bullshit). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.
If someone can tell me where to find my current wheel design, that would be the greatest!!!

Yeah, I really loved my rims. It's a shame I can't find them anywhere. I think they're discontinued. It can't even begin to express how awesome it would be of someone could help me find a place that still sells them.

I personally think the two last would look the best...these are wheel/tire packages so the prices will be lower for just the rims. I think a black or gunmetal apex-5 or something similar would be sick
