Default Need replacement for broken Sport Edition wheel

I have a 2013 Subaru Impreza 2.0I 5-Door Standard Model.

In 2014 I bought four Sport Edition wheels from Tire Rack with the following description: 15X6.5 5-100 ET35 SE A8#

The other day I noticed one of the spokes was cracked/broken. While I'm a car guy, I don't know jack about wheels and I need a replacement. Unfortunately, TireRack says they no longer stock these.

Questions:
  1. Where can I find a replacement (new or used)?
  2. Can someone deciper the description as I don't even know what color this is described as (e.g. Silver, Dark Silver, Gun Metal Titanium, etc.)?
  3. If I can't find an exact replacement, what do I do? Do I need to get an entirely new set of four wheels and if so, what size?
  4. What are the specifications for wheels -- (offset? size? bolt pattern? etc?)?

Thanks for any and all help. Here's a picture of one of the wheels.

(1) Ebay. Facebook Marketplace. Craigslist. Probably not very likely that you'll find a replacement.

(2) I don't see anything in the description you provided that says anything about color. I see a size, and the fact that it's a Sport Edition A8.

(3) Find a replacement with the same specs as what you've got (15x6.5" +35mm), or buy a entirely new set. If you buy an entirely new set, you can get whatever size you want. You bought the current set from Tire Rack, so you're familiar with how their site works - go there, input your vehicle, and choose some wheels you like. You can do the same on various other sites, too.

(4) Like, what do those terms mean? Or what are they for the wheels that you have? If it's the former, go here. If it's the latter, it's right in the description you posted - 15x6.5", 5x100mm bolt pattern, +35mm offset. You can find your stock wheel specs here.

Unless you slid the car into a curb, I'd be worried as to why one cracked in the first place and consider replacing them all.
