I was looking for rims in a 17 or 18 x 9.5 in a 5x100 bolt pattern with an offset around +10. I can't find anything readily available, even through the v-dub forums. I was looking at gramlight 57f's in a concave face but those have to be made and are a little more than I really wanna spend. If anyone knows of any sites with rims like these or custom offset rims anything would be great.
thanks in advance

You wont find any Japanese rims for that. 5x100 is usually only considered as a Subaru wheel. There are a few 32,35,38 offsets with 8 and 8.5J rims and thats it.

But 9.5J with a ET of 10 rolleyes.gif

Thats a WHOPPING 41mm that the wheel extends from a perfectly flush 8J ET 32 rim. You planning on making the car 80mm wider?

maybe, and that is the conservative offset. I would really like an 1? x 10 with an offset around 0 but I'll run into tire clearance issues and don't really wanna raise the car any higher as I'm at a near peferct 50/50 weight diagonally and I'm happy with the roll center and the camber it doesn't pull out. And they dont have to be "japanese rims" just something that looks like a gramlight 57 (the 5 spoke design and clear big calipers and you can paint anything bronze and I'd like a concave face but I'm just being picky.) light weight is good, and without me having to go with something like CCW or HRE because I'm not rich.
