These will not fit any 17's! I have them for over a year and a half and I got a flat tire and I was screwed!!! I tried 3 different 17's with different offsets and there's no way they will clear the caliper! NONE! These are for only 18" with +22 or greater offset, check with Brembo and they will say the same 
. I even had a 19" universal wheel that would not clear the caliper because the offset was too small. It took many calls and Procco to give me his personal 18" for it to work! Even on a +22, LE-TE37's Rim, the space is very tight. Washing the brakes gives you about half of inch of clearance. The brakes are bad *** and work very well in the rain! the picture the OP posted is highly accurate of what the package looks like coming directly from Brembo, so as far as I can see they are purely authentic! I will also note you will save some weight as well with these 
Here's an old picture but a good reference as to how big they are and look like on 18's.
They are so worth the cost! IMO....

Bump for a great set of brakes. I have the same kit on my racecar and love it.
BTW, these will not clear 17's, at least one with an offset that is typical for the Evo. I tried a bunch of set-ups and it didn't work. That said, almost any 18 will work. I've run everything from an 18x8.5" to an 18x10" with small and large offsets.
