Classic mesh rims F56 help

Hey guys! I'm looking for a set of classic bbs rs style of rim that fits an f56 (bolt pattern 5x112). It's a tough pattern to find to fit this style but I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

XXR 521 18x8.5" 5x112 flat black finish, flat gun metallic, or Black/machined lip, comes in two offsets.

Option for Gold, Chrome, Red, Blue or Gloss Black finish metal rivets

Those ^ are not RS style mesh weave... these are close.. but still not the correct style.

These are but not in 5x112 pattern sadly http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_536.shtml

These however.. if you contact them and dont mind rep's... are available in 5x112 and bored exactly to your hub size so no hub rings are needed or you can get rings and deal with the standard 66.6mm bore size.

Stock wheels are ET54 5x112 66.6 keep that in mind. We have some wheels that fit in aftermarket but they would be very aggressive since they are on the VW and Audi side. ET 33 and such.

Thanks

I'm looking for something exactly like these and I would definitely talk about having them custom drilled if the offset wasn't too low. Unfortunately the f56 has a ridiculous offset with little lee-way... Thanks for the help so far! I'm still looking! I looked at ESM's too but they won't custom drill and again, offset is too low.


EDIT: And if anyone knows how low of an offset I could safely run without camber, spacers or a ruined suspension please let me know! I think I read talk about ET +35 being the lowest so far? Any confirmation?

EDITx2: Lowest offset is Vic Skimmr with ET +32 but he is running camber which id prefer not to do.
