Default Got tires free... need wheels

Heres the deal,

I got a free set of tires from Dunlop the SP Sport FM901's in any size I need.
The best set up I could find to do well on my 92 SC400 is 245/40 18 and 265/35 18
18" is as big as I could find the tire so that limits the wheels to 18's

Now my dellema is to find wheels that I like and can afford. My brother who is in the Navy gave me his car when his ship the USS Bunker Hill got sent to the Gulf where he will be stationed for a while. I won the set of tires in a race last weekend.

My budget for the wheels is 1800. I am not as well off as most of the people who can afford to own a newer Lexus but I think I can still find a decent set of wheels for 450 a peice right? I perfer the staggered look that I have found through searches like 8.5f and 9.5r. Finish I like shiny but not chrome. And the lip is most important. Am I asking for too much? TIA.

You can get the Lsportline IV in 18" for under $500 a wheel.

The SSR GT3 is a nice wheel for a nice price. They come in 18x8.5 and 18x10 so you can have the staggered setup. About $500 a piece isn't bad.

Did you get your tires already?
