I have been looking for a 48-32 crankset for a touring/gravel bike but so far haven't found anything affordable or in stock. I have a set of 3x 104/64bcd MTB cranks that I could use, but the only compatible chainrings I've found are made by Spécialités TA in France and are kind of expensive for what they are. There's a huge variety of cheap chainrings on Ali but these are either narrow-wide only or 2/3x rings that fit the bolt spacing but are too small.
Any help would be appreciated! 46-30 would also work for me.
Here are the Spécialités compact chainrings for those interested:

Other than Shimano GRX, I'd go for Praxis or FSA. Both make subcompact cranksets, although they aren't exactly cheap.

FSA makes sub-compact cranks and they're very reasonably priced- you can get a set for under $200. They have 48-32 as well as 46-30.

For Shimano cranks (asym 4x110 BCD) there are 46/30 and 48/32 rings on eBay.
The brand's name is Bikingreen. I use 46/30 set.
