Does anyone make an 18" rim that looks like this...
I love this rim (Enkei ES-Gravel) and I think OZ may have at one point in time made a rim that looks similar to this, but I can't find it, nor have I been able to find any other wheel manufacturer that does...
Any ideas?

It wouldn't look too good cause it would cover up the brakes/rotors and probably would affect the cooling of the brakes. The middle area, if it was an 18" rim, would be about a 13"-14" radius... it'd look kinda bad. Like a rally "spinnar" wheel. 
if you like the multi-spoke look... try and check out the OZ Superleggerras in 18's or those Racing Harts.

He shoots ... he scores!
Looks like I've found something very close to what I was looking for ... I will be ordering a set of TDR (Team Dynamics Racing) Pro Race 1.2 wheels in 18x9. Yeah! only downside is a waiting time of 6-8 weeks. 
I don't have a pic of a Pro Race 1.2, but here's a pic of the Pro Race 1 in white (they look almost identical):

Here's part of an email I got from the USA Compomotive distributor:
Thank you for your interest in Compomotive Wheels.
Long Answer - Our wheels are custom manufactured. We don't pull boxes off
the shelf. When you order wheels they are no more than an ingot sitting in
a foundry in England. Perhaps they have raw castings available depending on
the popularity of the wheel you ordered. Anyway, once they have a casting,
the wheels are CNC machined to the exact specifications required for your
car. Then they're finished and shipped to us and then you. When everything
goes right, it's about a 2 to 4 week process. Can go as long as 12 weeks in
the busy time of the year. The EVO is a popular car, so there might be
exact wheels in stock, so could be as short as 2 weeks.
Short Answer - No requirement for spacers, etc..
I like the idea of custom fitments with no spacers or hubcentric rings. Comps are on the heavy side though, rally wheels need to be able to take a lot of abuse.

The Compomotive Wheels look nice ... but sounds rather pricey. Any idea on cost? I am hoping to get the TDR's for under $300/wheel.
