I need tips on how/where to shop for wheels.. I'm lost.

How the heck do you people find wheels when every damn site searches by car and only give you choices for stock sizes by diameter only? Is there any decent place to search for wheels by size, meaning diameter, width, backspacing ... I'm getting frustrated looking for a half decent set of 17 x 8 +38-40mm wheels and not finding anything. The only time I can get close, but still come up empty is searching for Ford Mustang GT wheels. Help please...

yeah, off the shelf fitment sucks. the only way is get something 2 or 3 piece so you can specifiy your offset and width. of couse, this makes a wheel purchase somewhat pricey like $500+ ea.
otherwise you're stuck with weak offsets for hondas!
i did have a good fitting set of off the shelf wheels once though, they were distributed by discount tire direct, call ed the MB weapon. 17x8, i forgot the offset but they were very aggressive. the wheels were light too and good looking.

Try searching ebay for some ADR rims if you dont mind cheap rims.

Those MB weapons I've seen and yeah they don't seem too bad. I'm just not sure of the quality.
As for ADR, I don't like any of the wheels I've seen from them.

eBay Store - ADR rims: ADR Wheels, Nate's Wheels, Aftermarket rims
