Default Need cheap wheel/tire combo

Hey guys, well I picked up a 2008 IS250 cheap, but it has 2 bent wheels that need to be replaced. I also have to replace all tires. I haven't had any luck finding a good OEM set. Has anyone tried some of the off brand ebay wheels like these:

http://r.ebay.com/85plBV

Or would anyone recommend a different set of good wheels? I jus built a house and with a wife a 4 kids I really can't blow 2 grand plus on wheels and tires anymore.

Dude, hit craigslist or the classifieds here. There are bargains to be had. You're better off buying a decent wheel vs a cheap piece of crap. Niche are a respectable brand that's affordable.

Yeah, I've been watching craigslist and even Facebook marketplace. I haven't seen much in the classifieds either, but have only had the car since Monday. I'm starting to get a little impatient since the car is just sitting on jack stands in my garage.
So far I've only found a factory set an hour away from me and I'm still looking at $500 without tires.

I'm rolling on Niche. Wouldn't say they were cheap, but def less expensive than other brands. Just save your money and buy the right wheels that you will enjoy. Don't rush it and be disappointed later on. Just my $0.02.

Agreed , niche wheels aren't cheap but rather a great wheel for an awesome price. Love the Veronas. I don't think you can touch the quality for the price . You can get 19" veronas for about 1500 with tires. ( over your said budget) Also check into discount tire. Konig oversteers are beautiful and really cheap! And they may have them in stock.

Ok, for some reason I didn't think the 350z, 370z, g35 wheels would work. I will expand my search and see what I can find used.

These are here in VA. But may be willing to ship? Worth a phone call to see.
