Default Cheap wheels and tires combo?

Anyone know a good cheap and budget wheels and tires combination? Looking around $800 for both. I'm not lower on anything, my original wheels are starting to peel off very hard.

I use Sport Edition Rims from Tire Rack for my winter rims. I am not sure you will get much lower in price than those rims unless you are looking to buy used ones. These new are about $120 each.

Do they have to be NEW, or can you spend some time to refurb them before the tires get mounted? Here's a good thought that quite a few of us went after :

They do not have to be brand new, I actually preferred to have the tires already mounted on the wheels but anything is fine as long as its good looking, and cheap.

Thanks for the replies guys, I do like the Genesis Track but will wait until a local pops up. What do you guys think about a BRZ/FRS OEM Wheels on a IS250? A local guy is selling that and tires for $550.

Why downsize to a 17" rim? I personally think it would look really bad, but that's just me.

They look nice.. What finish would you go with? - what colour is your car?

The bronze finish you had in the link would look good for sure. Especially with the colour of your car, interior.. Those rims are average in price I'm sure you could find something a bit cheaper if you look.. although when your looking through 19" wheels your options might be limited.

I found used RPFs with tires at around 80% tread local for your asking price.. pretty common rim.

Anither brand I saw (thatre worth mentioning) was TSW

Search for them and you wont be disappointed
