Couldn't tell ya. I'm finding a lot of these websites don't provide prices w/o submitting more information than I care to give.

If any knows the prices of those Advan's, I'd love to know. TIA!

Not saying you can't find better pricing, but this will give you an idea of how much per wheel. For 19's you will be around $830/wheel

I say find an inexpensive aftermarket set of wheels. A decent set of wheels will probably be around $2000 at least and you can use the tires you have on your stockies.

Well I might luck out. Insurance may cover this for just my $250 deductible. $1,800 wheel replacement for $250? I'll take it

I agree with everyone else about the quality of aftermarket wheels. Of the options you suggested, I'd only trust the Advans. If you're still interested in going aftermarket, HyperISF (a member on here) has a set of those Advans for sale (or did).

Quick/final update: I got my girl back yesterday. Insurance covered everything, and all I had to pay was my deductible. So, after tax, I got a $1,900+ rim replaced and a brand new Michelin SS for $155.
