Is there such a thing as a deep offset metric box wrench set in larger sizes? I need it to cover up to 32 mm, higher than that is OK.

The only set I've had luck finding is by Sealey Seigen in the UK and reviews are mixed while the price is good. Too good. China good. Here it is, 6mm to 32mm:

I'd prefer Taiwan, Europe, US made.

Budget would be something around SK, Armstrong, Toptul, craftsman pro. Snap on, Hazet or Stahwille would be too much.

I have a set of Heycos. Got them through the tool guy at work for just shy of 200...if I remember correctly they range in size from 19/22 to 32/36. They're highly recommended. Have a few odd Hazets too, which are even nicer.

Like other 'sets' my tool guy sells me, they're often just pieced together from a wholesaler as needed. The tool guy is also the parts guy: he works for the company that manufactures the machines I work on (Lindauer-Dornier). So when we buy a 'set' of an unusual tool like off set box end wrenches, we buy what's needed to work on our machines. Though you might look, finding a part number for this 'set' might not be possible;know what I mean?

I liked these wrenches so much I've been putting a set together for my box at home. The rule? As always, buy used.

Thanks for the tip on Heyco, hadn't thought of them at all. Their normal size sets up to 22mm are very well priced. But as you guessed, no luck finding a set with larger sizes. I'll try to track down a Heyco dealer on this side of the ocean and see if I can piece something together from open stock.

I recently purchased some Toptul 75° offset DBE metric wrenches from a member in the classifieds and they are really nice. These are the first made in Taiwan tools that I have knowingly purchased and the sizes I have used so far are great. My set goes up to 22mm but their catalog shows sizes up to 50mm IIRC. Chad's toolbox is in Canada and they are a Toptul dealer.

The Toptul set arrived yesterday. All I can say is WOW. I've never had a problem with tools from Taiwan. It's a democracy, a friendly nation and doesn't walk all over human rights. On top of that they make reasonable tools at a reasonable price. Toptul seems to be an exception, they provide EXCELLENT tools at a reasonable price. I'm honestly shocked at the quality. If I was starting from scratch I'd fill my whole box with them. As long as this set holds up under use, I'm sold!

Here are a few pics of mine. I know you said in your original post Stalwhille was above your price point but I actually found this set at a better price than the comperable Armstrong set.
