Default Trying to find new wheels for Antique Bronze Mica GS4

Hey CL looking for some serious help. I have a GS4 and am interested in getting some wheels for it. My only problem is price. I cant spend $2k+ on a set of wheels, but im still looking for a decent upgrade. Im looking to spend at most $1k for wheels and tires.

Im just interested in hearing what types of wheels people might recommend in my budget. Also, my car is ABM (antique bronze mica) so wheel choice is interesting. I was thinking of going with some mesh type wheels but im unsure.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thanks everyone!

It's possible, I scored 2 piece 19" momo gtr's with 2 good tires for $400 on craigslist. Gotta be patient. And they weren't stolen, the guy was so scared to get jacked so he met me at a police staition to do the deal.

Those are at the top of my list. Finding a set for $1k is gonna be very difficult.

Saw a set on ebay for $650 but without tires. Add tires onto that and they'll be closer to $1500. EEK

I have Is350 18" wheels on my GS4 antique bronze mica and I think they look pretty good.

It's not easy to put 18" wheels with new tires for less than $1000. The tires alone will run you six or seven hundred if you go for a cheap set. Good ones are obviously much more.

Good luck. Just keep searching classifieds. Deals do pop up from time to time.

Here is a pic. I like the wheels but I think the silver tint is a little on the light side so the wheels almost look white in bright sun. A slightly darker silver might look nicer.
