Volk GTS
You can pretty much go to any vendor but they will most likely not have the 8.5 you are looking for which will need to be special ordered (up to 90 days wait) since as you pointed out, the popular size that are in demand are 19x9.5 & 19x10.5. So they are more likely to put orders for these rather than an 8.5. Vendors that I know of that get these wheels are:
Rick @ Status Auto Design
Chris @ F1 Motorsport
Andy @ Performance Nissan
Check the Vendor Classified section as well & contact them directly...

Price is always an option but lets be real fellas, not when you buying 19" Volk rims. These are my second pair at that but the reason I want 8.5 vs 9.5 on the front is because I don't want to stretch the tire any more than it will be. I plan to run 255/35 on the front with a 8.5" rim. I bent one of my last Volks ( had 245/35 on 8.5" rim) and I think the 35 profile has a lot to do with it but It can probably be avoided a little by running a bigger tire 255 vs the 245 if I keep the rim down to a reasonable width such as 8.5. The money dont matter because its allready $2800 either way you look at it.
I was tempted to run 245/40 with a 9.5 rim because thats almost what stock G 19" rims have. The only difference is the rims are like 8" wide vs the 9.5 we have but the 245/40 profile makes up for wide rim.
Last reason is if you stagger the rims which you better with this car then you want that smaller rim on from, 1 in is barley any type of differece in the lip but 2 inch is a lot. ie: 19 x 8.5 fronts and 19 x 10.5 rear. Looks mean man. My last Volks below.
