Below are pictures of my 18x8" +50 offset OEM Mazda RX-8 wheels. These wheels were professionally powder coated gloss black by Pristine Powdercoating in Denver, CO and sealed with two coats of clear coat. They have never seen snow/salt/de-icer. They were only on my car for the summer of 2011.
They have a silver stick-on decal around the edge of the wheel that was damaged when the tires were taken off the rim, and I started to take the sticker off... but then stopped cause I'm lazy. You can see that the powder coat is fine underneath.
Price: [color="Red"]$400[/color]
(Price has been lowered because I don't want to ship)

Those look really nice! But, I don't have $500 (and if I did, it would get spent on something else I want to get for someone), and the only Subaru that uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern is the 05+ WRX STi. Not even sure about the center bore.

I know what you mean. I just spent almost 300 for a tire.
@Regulator how much did they charge for the powder coat?

You know you waaaannaaaa. They will fill out your fenders nicely, and the tires you have now will fit.
