19x11 and 19x13 Been looking for months trying to find low to moderate price(compared to top end) wheels. Most likely going to need custom as offsets are pretty non standard and 5x120 BC also limits choices.
Since most custom wheels are good quality, the question is who are the least expensive? Seems with a little shopping stock offsets and more common BC patterns can be had for as little as $1000/4 with lots of choices at $2000. So I'm hoping to not go too much above this range.
2nd option is to downsize a bit to 19x10.5 and 12. Offsets would be +12mm and -7mm. I'm not opposed to using spacers up to maybe 1/2" to get the offsets.

Any good 3 piece wheel will be about $900-1200 per wheel. 2 piece wheels will be about half that. Most likely to get those fitments you need will take a 3 piece wheel, so be prepared to spend! lol

Thanks for the input IROC but so far my finding is the most offerings are one piece forged billet, CCW being some of the least expensive ones at $725/775 each in 11/13. And they made the wheels(505a) that came on all four of the 'factory' built RA6's
Point of my question is good to excellent quality wheels can be found in the sizes I'm after for as little as $250 new on closeout, special or otherwise but in offsets ands BC for other cars. My time in the industry tells me those kind of numbers represent something around actual cost which means there is potential significant room for lower prices. AND my cars wheels do fit a few other cars, Porsche being one IRC.
And lastly, while its a poor choice, my BC is close enough to the F body 120.65mm that lots of folk just bolt them up, supposedly without issue, That opens up a lot of options.

Billet Specialties and Weld Racing are good wheels and can be had in 18s that are 12 or 13" wide for $600 a wheel or so. They may have some 19s as well in certain wheel styles.
Otherwise, CCW will probably be your cheapest option with Fikse and Forgeline next. HRE, iForged, and all of the D2Forged, ADV.1, 360 Forged (whatever all use the same mold) wheels are much more expensive.

Thanks Jake, I actually looked at Billet Specialties last night but missed seeing ones that low priced, so I will look again some more. Same with Weld Specialties a few weeks ago.
Thats why I posted here, its SO easy to miss the deal amoung the bazillion styles and such available. Its a lot easier when you know it does exist.
Nice TA....

2 things, i dont think your going to find a wheel in that size under 2 grand, a nice forged wheel anyway, weld is prob going to be the best option , also dont forget tires, a tire to fit that setup is going to be pretty pricey, good luck, best way to buy forged wheels is used, but in that size it will be hard to find
