Welcome! There is a Want To Buy (WTB) area within the For Sale section here on the Forum. That is the correct place to ask this Q.
It may help to be more detailed in what brand or rim size, style you seek. Even better, post a photo of the rims you prefer...

Rota has some nice, classic options and are available in UK. So does JNC but I think they are US based - https://jncwheels.com/collections

I've heard of some people buying from yahoo auctions japan too but never done it

Some of those JNC wheels look vintage but note they charge an extra $200 for 4x110mm bolt pattern.

Konig and Enkei make some wheels that fit our cars as well. Beyond that, Watanabes and Panasports are some "true" period wheels if you can find them (Konig Rewinds are a similar style). I have Rewinds on my car and like them reasonably well. IMO they can't be beat for the price as long as you don't mind the look.

Rota OS Mesh, SSR Reverse Mesh, and Enkei92s are all that mesh style without getting too spendy. Rota will be the cheapest out of the bunch. Wats, Panasports, and Konig Rewinds are the curved six spoke style with Konig being the cheapest and easiest to get your hands on. Those six wheels are my go-to when I think of wheels for our cars these days.
