Question Budget Rims.

I have a chipped rim on the rear driver side and it is not safe so iam looking for a new set and have these ones in mind. they're price range from $123-184. any suggestions to other rims would be great. and the color of my car is the stock gold.

ASA AR1 front-$169 18x8 rear-18x8


ASA JH8 front-$140 18x8.5 rear-$159 18x9.5


Enkei Performance series RZ-5 front-$179 18x8.5 rear-$184 18x9.5


Kazera KZ-A 18x8.5 front and rear $169


MSW type 14 front and rear 18x8 $132


Im digging the rims fwynn has, sorry for being a copy cat.
sportmax racing 962 front-$123 18x8.5 rear- $126 18x9.5
rear 18x9.5 $126

A lot of people have sport max on their SCs, and i think they look great despite their low price.

ASA AR1.. good wheels since they're manufactured by BBS and the most stylish of the set imo.

if youre gonna spend $500-800 on just rims, you might as well get some tt wheels, theyll look better than any of those IMO


edit: here are some nice 18s ranging from $600 - $900 sans tires

I purchased my beater Blitz winter wheels from RB motoring. Good company. But those wheels are used, so don't expect them to be in mint condition.

I'm kinda stuck on which wheels to pick but i do like the black ones with a lip. I think black wheels with a polished/chrome/machined lip look nice with the SC body. Also, the center caps the same finish as the lip looks nice, too, like this pic:
