2)Gold w/ polished lip 19x8.2+15 19x10+20 $1299 shipped

XXR wheels tend to have weak lips so they get bent easily. I'm not sure about their newer wheels though

They are heavier rims, weaker lips, but for daily driving you are fine. I had XXR before and were fine for 2 years. You should be able to get them cheaper somewhere else as well. $500 ~ for all 4 is the normal pricing.

honestly id go with the linea corse, they dont look as cheap since they dont have a multi lug pattern and the linea corse looks more of a bbs lm rep than the xxr 521. but since you're going for a cheap temp wheel, the xxr 521 would suffice.

I think the LeMans come in 18s as well or at least they did in the past. I have the 19s on my SC and they look decent to me.

Have you looked into Chikara LS1 wheels? They're another bbs knockoff wheel and a bit cheaper than Linea's.
