Default Best wheel search site?

Looking for a site that will provide the largest selection of wheels with excellent search/fit capability to allow me to quickly find what I'm looking for based on at least bolt pattern (5x5), size (17x9), and backspacing (less than 4.5 inches).

I've already seen 4wheelparts/4wd.com, tirerack, discounttire, 1010tires, etc. Summit Racing seems to have a huge selection, but either their tools aren't good or they're hidden.

Ideas?

Check out wheelpros.com.

Click on 'Brands' then 'Wheels' then 'Off-Road'.

This will narrow what is shown down to what may actually work. Then just click the wheel or brand you are interested in and search for the bolt pattern, offset or backspacing you need.

If the claims are not valid, then wouldn't the engineers just say 8-10 inches instead of 8.5-10 inches???
I'm not saying it won't work, but there is obviously some reason that they establish that as the inside limit.
