In any event, the wheels do look very nice. :D

The wheels he had previously were mass produced, but push them out of the range of most simply due to price.

The current set has a relatively high price tag also, but has a custom ordered offset so it's not readily available stateside (who knows how many were imported though). But I think it's more inline w/ the offset (and the stress of getting the correct suspension on time, ROFL) to acheive that look.

maybe they're 18x9.5 et38. Work made a small batch in 5x100 with that spec for 2004 WRX STIs (the only STI that came 5x100, later ones are 5x114.3). There were group buys on this size on NASIOC.com.

i doubt it. stretching is unsafe the more aggressively its done. car manufacturers dont want the liability on their hands so they'll change the offset and width to ensure clearance. i know alot of tire shops (usually ones that dont deal with motorsports) that wont touch stretch mounted tires out of liability fears.
