size wise im looking at 18x8 and 18x9

IMO, reasonably priced is Boze/Ze and Bunik. There are others but these two are my favorite mid priced wheels.
The latter choices you mentioned are more expensive like HRE, DPE, Fiske, ForgeLine, ect. Kinesis has closed (bought out) I believe.

We are distributors and can hook you up with great deals on Boze / ZE, or Forgeline. All are great wheels. We have Forgelines with additional $250 savings (in addition to our already great pricing) on coated wheels through the month of February.

Yeah I may be going this route with you, just have to total up the costs on the rebuild.

What is most important, is get what you want. There are alot of wheels out there to choose from. Do some research on all the above mentioned lines, check out their websites, and good luck with your search. All of the above mentioned as well as Intro wheels, Asanti, and ID luxory (made by Intro) do grey center mesh designs. After you've found what you want, let the sharks go to town trying to quote you the best deal, and go with the dealer who you are the most comfortable dealing with. Good luck,

Just a word to the wise, depending on your backspace, if it is in the 5" to 6" backspace, which it will be if it is a Camaro, or in your case a Milibu or other popular old muscle car that will require that backspace, please know that we sold Forgeline completely out rims shells to build these offsets, and there is a extended delivery time until they can recoup. I do have reservations on enough shells to do a set of WC3s (which is the Mesh style), but if you want a Premiere wheel, it is going to be a while. Also, if you are protecting your budget, look at Boze which are really a great bargain if you buy the Boze version. They also offer that wheel in ZE version in a 3 piece which is equal to Forgeline pricing and very similar.
We just ordered Rubes a set of the Boze Mesh wheels. Powder coated centers and polished lips. So I am sure he wil post some pics soon.
We also just ordered a set of WC3s for a Buick Grand National that will be ready in a couple weeks, so we can see how they fit and look since it is also a G body. We used proven backspacing off Bill Howells malibu.
