Default where to buy wheels?

WRX's are shitty 5x100 and all the wheels I find are really high offsets like +48.

I'm really looking for a set of wheels around 18x9 5x100 and an offset below 45. Preferably in the 37-43 range. I have a new set of 245/40/18 tires waiting.

I want to stay out of the usual 18x8 +48 5x100. I want something more flush and maybe a little concaveness.

I've seen only a handful of the sizes I want and I suspect most of them were custom ordered.

Anyone know any vendors or sites that carry these sizes in stock? If I have to I guess I can order too, but really want to pick up something soon.

Thanks

SubyDude has 18x8 Rota Formula Mesh with a +35 offset, I just noticed those the other day. Not exactly what you want probably..

Drifter Jerry on here is a rota dealer and he always says he has the best prices, he orders unusual sizes for 240 guys, so he can probably help you out. I think he has some Boost in 17X9 +30, they're 240 5 lug though.

For some reason I thought you were looking for an 8" wheel. Now that I read it again I see it says 9.
