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.

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
