Default I need 18's!!!

Help me! I am looking for some 18" wheels for the SC300. I qwould like 18x10 in the rear, and 18x8 in the front. I want to spend less than $1300. I have a major hookup with my shop, so that's no problem. I was looking at Real Racing R5's, but nobody has any left.

What would you all suggest? Gunmetal is a must. Show me some wheels!!!!!!!!!

Are you going to get her checked out?

Yeah, dammit. I am pissed now, because that is the money that I was going to drop on my rims! Oh well. I turned around on the way to work, and went home to switch cars. I am going to have my fiancee and my mom take it to my mechanic in a few minutes actually, and I'll pick it up this evening. I am hoping it is nothing too expensive, that way I can get a full tune up and oil change while it's in there.

It had been idleing at around 600rpm all day yesterday, which was weirding me out. Then it did it again this morning. It was REALLY low, I mean, 450rpm or so. ****! Then I let off the gas, took it out of gear, and she died on me. Started right back up though. Odd. So hopefully it isn't too expensive to fix.

AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! AGSHASKUGAIUGAUGDSAKUGSBKU!!!!! $950!!!! AGUJUGAGIVUUGCKCAAKUCBAAUDGBKUCUBKDA UBIAUBIAUB!!!

Bah! DAMMIT! lol, I'm so dismayed! Oh well, no wheels for now I guess!

My distributor was going bunk, and there was a crack in the casing, etc...so I had to replace...which was $550 itself...so I may as well spend the extra $400 right now to do the full tune up and everything else!
