It is tough finding what your looking for. I have 17x9 +35 on mine right now and I also want them to be more aggressive.
There are a handful of options, xxr 531, STR has one that is +20 and privat has their RS rep that is a +30.
I am on the hunt too.

I feel like only 'replica' wheels chose to market the 5x100 bolt pattern. I was a '240 guy' and even with 4x114.3 I had better wheel options than 5x100...I could write a nasty letter to Toyota/Subaru...

I also want to shoot the guy in the face that chose these stock wheels.:paddle:

What are you running?

Works, rays, weds, enkei they're all made in 5x100. If you want a deeper offset get a 5x114.3 17x9 with a custom PCB. You just have to wait and it's a bit costly.

Right now I am on xxr 17x9 +35 with the stock tires stretched. It works well but IMO the rears could use another 5-10 mm poke.
I was looking to get some higher end rims but after I got a chip on my rear passenger lip I have decided against it. Right now I am trying to decide to replace both rear rims with the +25 offset version or just swapping them all out all together.
I love deep dish rims but I am also just thinking what other options are there if I jump to 18's. And I agree, why did subaru/toyota decide to go with this lug pattern? There are conversions but I elected to go with a lease since I wanted out of my last car but still wanted a sports car that was much more afforable. So doing a hub conversion simply isn't a feasible option. And I worry that with using spacers that the offset will end up being so low then nothing will fit right.

I got a set of Wedsport TC105N if your interested.

This is the issue: married, in the Navy, and the only 'real' set I want is some nice TE37V's.

I'm not too much of a wheel snob...and to be honest I ran some 531's in 16x8+5 (custom offset) on an S13 with a meatier tire. I had a pretty slammed Mazdaspeed6 with a 225/45/18 stretched on a 9" Work Emotion XD9 set. That was as stretched as I wanted it to be. I think I'm into the meatier tire look.

I was going to run a hub converiosn but fucking Megan Racing is charging close to $700? What the fuck? Way to prey on new owners. I think it's bullshit that a cheap Megan product is double the price just because it's in demand.

I would love to...but I SHOULDN'T spend this kind of money on 'real' wheels right now... :(

You can also get the XXR 531 in a +25 offset if you look hard enough. If you want to run a 16x 9 you can get some CCW Classic reps in a +15... http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ptd/3913063661.html

Here are some BBS RS reps in 17x8.5 +30 and 17x10 +20 http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ptd/3902336738.html

BUMP! Just passed my certification on my Navy exams...trying to find myself a present. PM me a price and link/images so I can order before the weekend!

I have my set of gram lights for sale. I know you don't like high offset wheels but I have a legit set of wheels for like $1k with tires in excellent condition. Just run 15mm spacers and it's a done deal. TBH, I hate running replica wheels. So if you're interested...LMK.
