Default Looking for affordable solid black 18" wheels - Recommendations

Im looking to buy some affordable 18" wheels to fit my 225/40/18 front tires, and 285/35/18 rear tires and looking for suggestions. Would prefer black but am open to anything that is not chrome. The car itself is Tungsten Silver with Black interior.

Perhaps someone selling such wheels in the So Cal area?

I like 18" wheels. I dont need 19" and bigger wheels plus my tires were very costly ($400 each) and the last thing I need is to have to buy another set 2 months after getting them.

Why not just powder coat your stock ones?

The 285/35/18 tires dont seem to sit happily on the stockers.

Maybe he doesn't want his car to ride like ****?

If you want all black wheels, O.Z. Racing and BBS make some nice light ones. Does it matter to you if they're forged or cast?

What's your price range, OP? We probably all have different definitions of "affordable".
