Need some help finding these rims.

Ive been looking all over the net and can't seem to find someone that has this design and also will custom make them to my fitment. There Boss wheels but im really not looking for the brand just the design.......and I mean very close to these. When I say close im talking about width and size of the spokes.

Im wanting 18x8 w/4.5bs and 18x9.5 w/5.5bs. As far as price goes im looking at about $250.00 to about $350.00 per wheel.

They look similar to the Boyd Spyder's or the Foose Type S...but the price isn't what you're looking for and the Foose wheels only come in chrome.

also check out budnik....very close to many designs of budnik. however your budget is extremely low for budnik wheels unless your looking for a 16 to possibly a 17". 18's will be up around 570 a rim.

also maybe check out boze at bozeforged.com they have a few wheels that are also similar but their prices start around 700 a rim.

the reason why cast wheels are so cheap is not only the material but they are mass produced for particular vehicles that sell well. if you want a custom fit wheel for a hard application like our cars it will cost you.

I have seen alot of those wheels around in that design, but sadly assaid before, only come in best selling sizes. I have seen "Boss", "Armano Dunamis" and others with that design, but they only come in 18x8 and 20x8,5.

I don't know about you, but if I were to spend on costly wheels like this, it would be a shame when they don't fill up the rear wheel well at all.

The only remedy for this would be to widen them by a shop. It could be done not to expensively, but it's the rechroming who would totally destroy the budget part of it.

I don't have a soulution for you, I'm looking for those kind of wheels myself.

I did have similar wheels mounted to my car once though, And I gotta tell ya, it almost made me wet my pants. The ones I tried where "Superstar, Leon Harderit, Leon Lanze" in hyperchrome, 19x9,5 and 19x11,5 with 285/30 19 all around. MAN where those cool, only problem was that the guy selling them suddenly refused to sell them no matter what. I'ts been hunting me for nearly two years, those made my car look like a $50 000 car.

They where expensive though, at wholesale pricing, they where abot $10 000 with tires, and they had that super wide lip.
