Default Brand New 19/20 Inch Wheels, for under 700$ Possible?

I'm searching around for 19/20 inch Black with machined/ mirrored Lip Wheels. Anyone Know where I can get all 4 rims for under 700$ total? Looked into XXR's and TSW (Mallory, Silverstone, Valencia.) Also if anyone has recommendations for shops near me that sell rims/wheels that would be appreciated. Was on CarID, but if anyone is selling something in this style please share. I'm Located in FL Zip 33179.
Thanks!

Personally I'd hold off and shop around Craigslist, eBay and classifieds for a legit set of wheels that fits within your budget before blowing that kind of coin on some sub par replica wheels. Just my .02. Might take a little longer for that right set to pop up but you'll (@ least if it were me, i'd) be happier in the long run. TSW is a legit wheel though.

Honestly, you're not going to find anything "legit" for $700. If that's all you're going, or are able, to spend then XXR is probably your best bet. You can check with some of the vendors here as they might have some off-brand wheels around that price range but it's doubtful. Even my first set of Varrstoens (19/20 stagger) were over $1k new.

Actually, now that I think of it, you may be able to find a used set [of Varrstoens] on either here or Zilvia.net. They seem to get passed around a lot and can be had for around $7-900 used in good condition for a set of 19s.

$700 can buy you a decent set of used wheels, I would suggest checking Craigslist, the Wheel & Tire Classifieds on this site, and other second hand markets in your area.

If you insist on having new ones, your best bet is going to be finding a place that's having a sale or some wheels that are on "clearance."

Personally, I'd buy some real wheels second hand. You are less likely to have bends/cracks/complete blowouts and your car's cool factor will increase way more than buying replicas. I only paid $900 for my Vossen CV3s, which are $2000-2500 new. Good deals are out there.

Looked around, noticed I had saved some info on Enkei Lusso wheels in 18/20 variation. Anyone know if it would fit the 2gs300 bolt pattern and if I would need spacers, if I want to fit some thick tires, also if I would need to do anything with the speedometer if I get bigger wheels and bigger tires, as well as if I'm gonna need fenders rolled?
