Default Looking for a set of matching wheels...but have a narrowed 9"

Like the title states, i understand they will have to be special ordered, but do alot of the wheel companies do this? I will need a 3-3.5" backspacing rim for the rear and stock BS for the front.... any input? Used search, no soup.... I would like to stay away from brand new Fikse/comparable....very rich for my blood...already have prostars, looking for pimp factor

Companies like iForged, Fikse, and CCW are probably your only options.

Any 2 or 3 piece wheel manufacturer can make custom sizes. The center section is seperate, they just position it in the hoop and weld it where you need it. Intro, iForged, Boyd, A/R, DPE, etc... all do it. CCW is a 1-piece wheel unless you go with their 3-pc racing wheels. 1-pc wheels can't be built like that. Fikse and HRE are 3-pc wheels and it can be done but you will pay more.

Thanks bro, i appreciate your input. American Racing will do the trak stars in 17x11 reverse with a 3.0-5.5 BS.... i think i will need a bigger back space like 5.0 because my prostars are 15x8 with a 3.5 BS and fit nicely... we shall see. Tomswheels has been very helpful up until now and i wouldnt mind chunking some business his way, he seems pretty fair.

Our Bogart RR wheels are a good option. You didn't mention a budget so I have no idea what you're looking at.

Here's an oldie but a goodie attached. More samples are on our website in the customer gallery.
