Looking for red rims comparable to RSe12's for BRZ

Rims that look like this, in the 18x8-9 region. Preferably something that isn't $300 a pop like these, but nothing cheap to the point where you lose quality either. I've thought about painting/powercoating some but not sure how well that kind of thing lasts

Rims are pretty integral to a car. I wouldnt cheap out on those. Plus 300 isnt all that per rim.

The color is nice but the spoke spacing is a bit off on those. I really like the 6 "U" or "V" design, or 7 like on the Raijins

Oh yeah, I wasn't looking for $80 cheap, but ideally in the $150-200 range, maybe $250 like the Raijins if I can't find anything else

Properly done powder coating can be as good as or even better than the original finish. The trick is to find somebody that can do it properly for a reasonable cost.
I think your choices in red are going to be very limited.

You could always get the wheels you want cheap and then plasti-dip them. If you aren't racing, it affords you the ability to change the color and protect the finish.

I'll keep that in mind when I make my decision. Seems simple yet tedious at the same time if you want it done correctly
