Anybody have an idea where to get 13x8" wheels with custom backspacing in 4x100 and 4 on 4 bolt pattern(I have both on my car)? At this point I'm not terribly concerned about steel or aluminum. I've communicated with jongbloed racing about a custom set but I'm trying to find a middle of the road pricing.
Diamond Racing will make you a steel wheel in whatever specs you want.

I have these on my exocet. I ran them on my civic and my miata as well. If the offset and such isn't right, above poster has it. Diamondracing will do it.
How much are you willing to spend? Panasport will build you a wheel in pretty much any size/offset you want, but they won't be cheap.
I looked at those traklites but the offset wont work. Never saw the Diamond Racing....that's likely where I'll get them. Thanks for the tip. I did look at panasport and I may get a set from them or Jongbloed after I get it all going and keep the steelies for tooling around town. Thank you all, appreciate it.
If you want pimpy and lightweight on a budget you can hunt the FSAE forums. The VW hubs are common cheap and light among the options the students have to choose from. Offsets need to be watched as they do some goofy things.

I would be very, very careful about using anything from an SAE car. Some of these wheels are in the five pound neighborhood. Some are so floppy that they lose nearly a degree of camber per G of cornering force just from wheel flex! And that's on a vehicle that weighs ~500 pounds or less.
Ron Ver Mulm at R&S Racing sells these Real Race Wheels for $210 each but if you need every bit of caliper clearance then you can go to Keizer Wheels, which I have on my car Keizer Wheels because they have that extra 1/2" I needed. Both are great companies to deal with
Rota RB minilight style wheels come in 13X8 with several different offsets. I have a set of 4X100 in +4.
