If you want cheap, no, not really. With the downside that the flat faces do not clear anything big brake wise, which really sucks. TC105N, if you're willing to spend a bit more, will clear brakes. 6UL is cheap, light, and has optimized offsets / sizes but I've heard complaints of bending easily (compared to something like the RPF1) on non-Miata weight cars.

That is a hell of a bend

It just crossed my mind that Jongbloed makes wheels similar to what you're looking for.

I wish we got the EP3 Type R here, oh well. Even a clean-ish Si is difficult to find (so I bought an ex-TT FA5 as a DD).

You can also just flip the face to reverse the offset

You could use https://www.willtheyfit.com/ and do a little bit of measuring. I'd just run the tire sizes on it now unless there is a good reason to change.

The first thing you have to throw out is the idea that a standard tire width is equivalent across tire brands and models, for example a 225 hoho is as wide as a 245 200tw tire or a 255 nt01 is quite a bit wider than a firestone indy500, so it can be hard to gauge. I like a 245 on a 9 and a 255 on a 10 in terms of feel, but I have been running 255s on 9s for a while. You'll notice OEMs tend to match rim width to tread width and people say they can look stretched, but they will perform well, feel good, and be consistent versus a bulged tire on the same wheel that might make more grip but be more 'peaky' in terms of letting go and feel more numb/mushy/squirmy.

I've used Jesse Streeter before, see how his fees compare https://jessestreeter.com/

$2.5k USD isn't THAT bad for a set of wheels like that (not that I could imagine spending that much )

Yes, but it is not cheap either way

Are you set on using those wheels? Someone might be able to come up with something that already matches what you're looking for aesthetically without having to stick wheels into a lathe and all that comes with it.

Car weight and tire profile play a big part. What kind of car?

What size are the tires? You might be able to run them on the 7.5s just fine.

They are fine on a 7.5. If you want to validate, you can look at Tirerack for those tires which lists 5.5-7.5" as acceptable wheel widths. This link is for the newer version of the tire, but same general idea. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus%20V12%20evo2&partnum=055WR6K120XL You generally want to match section width to wheel width to optimize a given tire for proper feel and grip.
