18x8 ET40 & 18x9 ET50 High Quality Wheels?

18x8 ET40 & 18x9 ET50, 5x120, 72.56mm
Those are the perfect sizes and offsets to run 235/40/18 & 265/35/18 tires on the F22, w/o spacers, rings, poking or rubbing.

I wish I could get the OEM E46 CSL wheels in a gun metal finish in those sizes. But, that's not possible.
BBS does offer their CH-R in 18x8 ET40 and 18x9 ET44; which is close, but not perfect. And, I don't really like/want the CH-R.

I've tried searching all the usual places for those sizes, but haven't had any luck. Unfortunately, none of the usual manufacturers offer those sizes. :
You'd think that after 5+ years, someone would be making wheels that actually fit the F22...

Is there some way to search across wheel manufacturers by size & offset first? And then if I find the right sizes, see if there are any brands/styles I like?

TIA!

Forgeline has surprisingly affordable forgings, in custom sizing. I found OZs that fit my needs, but I was considering them as an option myself. Still not at all cheap, but less than I expected.

Thanks Maynard.
Yes, they are less than expected for a custom wheel, but still more than I'm willing to spend. I'd like to find something in the same price range as the BBS, <=$600.
It's like searching for the holy grail...

Forgestar CF5 or F14 semi concave have offset options in 18x8.5 from +4 to +48 and 18x9.5 from +17 to +60. Prices around $350 - $400 per wheel
