Canada Where to find black alloys?

Hi guys so I've found out that it's extremely difficult to find a set of black alloys that match the OEM sizes for my ae92 gts. (14x5.5", 4x100mm)
has anyone else in canada ever bought black alloys? i would really like to know where i could find a set.
heck if anyone has ever bought a nice set of wheels in that size let me know because i've looked seemingly everywhere.
seems like all the nice designs only come in larger diameters....

thanks

do you really need to match the oem size???? it's not really important, they will actually look better if they're wider.

Canadian tire sells steelies in different widths, if not kijiji is your friend.

AE92s actually look better with bigger alloys on them...

Here, my old 89 with 15x7 and 35mm offset ASA wheels, and my 90 GTS with 15x6.5 40mm Black Racing wheels.

not saying i don't want bigger rims it's because i still have a set of all-seasons that were fitted on the OEM alloys so i really don't want to go out and buy new tires along with the rims.

I took my Honda del Sol's alloy rims and stuck them on my wagon. I had the rims powdercoated in black, then modified the center caps to show a Toyota logo on them. 4x100 lug pattern. Using 195-60-14 tires, I have almost the same rolling radius as stock (185-70-13 for my All-Trac wagon).

Pardon the mud, lol...
