Default Help me choose rims

I'm looking for some 18s for a white SC300. I'd like to spend around $2000 or less on rims and tires. I'd like the wheels to be under 20lbs. I like the style of Volk te37 (silver), le37t (silver), and racinghart C5 (without rivets) but those are probably out of my price range. Can you guys suggest something that will fit my requirements and style? Thanks

You're pretty much asking the impossible. Only the highest quality wheels are gonna be under 20 lbs each and you're gonna have to pay more than $2k just for the wheels. You can't have caviar on a McDonalds budget man.

Now, for an alternative, you can get decent 25lb wheels with tires for under $2k. I have no personal experience with these wheels and know noone who owns any. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...2FPolished+Lip

Why not just save up a little longer for some actual volks?

I think that's what I'm going to end up doing. I just want to get some stock Supra TT rims for now so I can put in the LS400 brakes and I'll just get some nice rims when I have the money.
