Default Looking for a 5-spoke Wheel

I am looking for a set of staggered 5-spoke wheels that are similar in style to the 5zigen FN01R or Gram Lights 57C in gold or bronze. Is there anything currently on the market in sizes that actually work with our car? I am not interested in fender mods or anything like that. I don't want the wheels poking out the side of the car.

I came across the Advan TC-4 which look promising since you can get offsets in the 50s and 60s, but I don't love the colors available especially with the shiny lip detail. I could refinish them but that adds another $800-1000 to the cost. Seems like too much for cast wheels.

I was thinking about the Mita MS-10 because the sizes are so good and they're forged, but they almost look a little too overly-styled for my taste. I just want a simple 5-spoke with a lip.

I have Regamasters on my FK8 type-R which I absolutely love, but I don't see them offered in proper s2000 fitment. The spoon wheels are cool but I can't stomach the price for a set of matte black wheels, and I don't seem them offered in any other colors.

Are there any options that I am overlooking? Appreciate any feedback!

MITA has these options
5S: https://www.mitamotorsports.com/product/5s/
or simply AP2V3: https://www.mitamotorsports.com/product/ap2v3/

Since you mentioned TC-4, what about the GT Beyond in 17s? They do offer them in friendly widths and offsets. fronts: 17x7.5 +48, rears: 17x8.5 +45, 9 +63. If you're okay with pinched tires you could go with 17x8 +45 215/45/17 fronts and 17x9 +45 245/40/17 rears but will still rub on hard dips.

8.5 +45 in front will require a fender roll.

oh my those would be pricey! Does a 7.5 +48 fit on the front? It would poke 13mm more than a factory AP2 wheel in the front. I guess that’s only 4mm more than the Mugen wheel.

You have options in a 5 spoke design. Work, SSR, Advan, Enkei, the list goes on... but one that is similar in style to the fn01r-c or grams may be a hard find.
Another option would be to get a set of custom forged wheels (any style, size, offset, width, color, finish) you want made, which will run around $2500.
I was thinking of getting the oem jdm 5 spoke s2k wheels done in a larger size but haven't pulled the trigger just yet.

If you look further down on this first page you'll see a thread about BSPK forged wheels, or you can click here:
