Some suppliers have stock and what model would you prefer on my black S?

My car is exactly the same without the wheels.

Rear 7,5x18 ET 38


Rota P45 Royal Bronze
Front :8,0x18 ET48
Rear :9,5x18 ET30


Konig Sideways (New)
Front :7,5x18 ET 45
Rear :7,5x18 ET 45

Why would you want to run 18" for the winter? Go with 16" and narrower tires. The wheels won't bend as easily and you are much better off in price as well.
If I can help let me know.

If you put those rear Rotas on, the 9.5s with 30 offset they're going to stick out like those guys that drive the old Grand Ams with the 13" wire wheels in the bad part of town.

Have Steve @ Evolution set you up with wheels that actually fit. It will be totally worth it when they don't rub.

He got me custom made TE37s and they're great.

I can tell by your wheel choices that you are looking for an inexpensive wheel. None that i can find have offsets that work. Maybe the ASA's on Tire Rack would be your cheapest best bet.
