Not sure if you are looking for used to save some $, but if OK doing new wheels, I cannot recommend anyone more than Velos Designwerks. Amazing designs, A+ service and communication, as well as perfect fitment.
That is very similar to HRE P101s but the face is Flat. There is not enough concavity on the wheel face for my tastes . A wider wheel and smaller diameter may have allowed for deeper offset.

Let me help out your misunderstanding of these wheels:
This is a 3pc wheel with a floating spoke design, so it is NOT intended to be max concave. And the rear are 12” wide, so the wider wheel philosophy you mention couldn’t be more wrong! And your deeper offsets comment, please explain, so you would want to build a wheel that would not fit the car? These are custom built with most aggressive offset possible without any rubbing.....I think you may be thrown off maybe as you are not familiar with 3-piece floating spoke designs?
Sorry, just had to throw some facts your way about this specific wheel.
With the wider wheels(12”) in the rear , do you get more over steering? Is there more unsprung weight?
Do you find less traction on wet roads?
We are hijacking this thread, please PM any additional specific questions.
But to answer your specific questions here before letting the OP’s thread get back to its regularly scheduled programming:
No, no additional oversteer. If you are familiar with oversteer, that means the back end gets loose, going to a wider tire in back would help eliminate slippage, not cause more.
Generally a 3pc wheel weighs more than a 1pc monoblock, you trade a little weight for more customization potential.
Wet traction will depend on many things, I have no noteable wet traction difference for a simple reason, don’t drive the car in the rain. Got caught in it once, didn’t notice anything different.
