The photo of the TRD above looks like all the holes in the base plate are the same size to me.

Looked like the hole @6:00 was larger...guess it was just the pic.

Looks like some do come with 8 holes...I think this is a TRD Scion filter:
I just bought two densos from amazon, about $7 each including shipping.
The cartoon on the box said they had torque limiters (looked like pins or bumps to prevent over tightning) but my filters did not have any. they were oiled and sealed with o ring gaskets
are wix filters ever on sale?

I think what they mean by "torque limiter" is that the "P-ring" compresses completely until the outer base circumference edge of the can makes contact with the seat. When the can hits the seat, it's on all the way and doesn't require any more torque.
With a filter that has the conventional flat "O-ring", you can over torque them past 1 turn, which will cause them to lock-up big time when it comes time to remove them.

Do any auto zones or advance type stores sell wix or only private local parts houses
Around here auto zone and advance don't carry wix. But Oriely does and they are not a private local part house. Also, you can buy a NAPA Gold which is basically the same thing.
