New Wheels - Need some help


For the past few weeks I've been looking to upgrade my wheels and can't seem to find the type of wheel I'm looking for. I've looked at few hundred wheels and can't find crap. Here is what I'm looking for:

18x10
Chrome Deep Dish (20-35 mm offset)
5 Stoke bullit style

Here is the catch, I'm looking for stokes that don't "bend" back towards the brakes (i.e more like my current FRPP bullits where the spoke goes straight up). Foose has some and Bullet Specialties does too but they have 2 lips like the link below.

Billet Specialties - Classic

I'm looking more for a deep dish like this:

Work Wheels :: Products :: VS-KF

The Works wheel above is really close to what I want...but they don't have the bullet style spoke. If you guys have any other places you could suggest I would appreciate it.

Ever look at the American Racing torq thrust M? I have a set of the torq thrust 2's in the garage but the spokes curve in towards the calipers as you stated. I think the torq thrust M does not. but I cant remember for sure.

My wheel replicas bullits have pretty straight spokes, like stock. Mine are black but come in chrome too.
