It really depends on your budget.

So far I really like the LC818 or the Forgestar f14, not sure how the roads are in NJ.

imo
just prepare more $$$$
no matter how good the wheels are
facing huge potholes
they will still bend, or crack (YMMV)

but for better quality = more $$$$

prepare to drive slow..and dodge potholes (learned from fixing wheels three times....)
or just take rims off and put back stockies during winter.....

I've seen $5k wheels bend from potholes just drive carefully and you'll be fine with any wheel you choose besides something super cheap like from the flea market haha.
