What Brands of Wheels and Where to Get Them
So, I've been trying to find some wheels that are 17"s and 9 and 9.5 wide for my FD. Going by the info here I know my off sets are 44 and 38. The problem I'm running into is that everywhere I go or any web site I go to only has wheels that are 7.5in wide (which is skinnier than stock) or 8 (which is stock). I've checked Enki, Konig, TSW, Tire Rack, Americas Tire...
What brands are you guys using or where do you go to find wheels that are wider than stock?

Enkei RPF1 are great wheels. strong light and come in the widths and offsets that fit the FD.
if you roll your fenders you can run 255/40/17 17x10 rpf1 wheels +38mm offset. There is a set in the wheels for sale section for 800 shipped in this exact size.

IMO, one of the best resources for wheels is Rishie at AutoRND. He knows RX7s, great prices and excellent service.

Don't know what to tell you. There are many options out there, at your price point I'd recommend the Tire Rack. They have some decent wheels that should come in at or around what you're looking for

The problem with tire rack is I can't see the off sets. It seems according to that site I can only get wheels that are either 7.5 wide (smaller than stock) and 8 wide (stock).

Figured out how that spreadsheet worked for figuring out FD clearances based on wheel size and off set. What I've learned is that all these web sites wont let you see tires that are over sized, which is frustrating. I do believe I've settled on Enkei Raijin 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with Hankook Ventus tires.
But you're right I have to call these web sites to get access to the sizes and off sets I want, I can't just do it on line
