Default Need some ideas for "affordable" 18x9 rims

Ok, I just got back from the local tire place and ordered a set of 4 275/35/18 tires and 4 Ion Alloy Style 114 rims .... however, once I got home, I realized that those tires won't fit on the rims I ordered because they are only 7.5" wide.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....

I have been looking all day for some decent rims of the 18x9 (38mm offset) size and haven't come up with much at all. I really don't wanna try fitting the tires on a rim that's 1.5" less than what the minimum rim width recommended by the tire mfg is ....

So anyways, what would you all recommend for an 18x9 rim that's less than $300 each?

that right there is just about exactly what I am looking for.

Can you give me some info on that? I went to your site but I couldn't find anything on the tire/wheel page, but I didn't have to look far cuz that one is the style I am trying to get, or close to it....

Anyways, thanks for the help
