I know what kind of wheels I can get for $200-250, don't get me wrong I have researched and bought wheels before... but I was looking for some specifics here... I've always liked Enkei wheels, Konig too...

Thats somewhat discouraging... hmmph... I guess I hadn't really thought of that.
What about a wheel with a normal offset, but where the spokes curved into the rim to give it a deeper look? I guess kind of like those ray g-games xhengmanx posted, but maybe with another .5" possibly?

The other thing I have seen and I really like, are these 18x9.5 rota grid's... on wheeldude there are quite a few rexes running these, but no 08+'s... so I am wondering if they will fit... I really don't NEED the width, but damn they look sexy... I just really like that angle that the spokes take... badass...

Grids will fit I think sd has like a plus 38 offset for subarus. Btw iirc all grids have the same face

Yea, wheeldude.com Rota's are the illmatic (and have the reputation for going over hard bumps and curbs without breaking/bending). Got my set from him too.
