Default Black/Graphite Wheel Suggestions

Id like to buy some 17" or maybe 18" black or dark colored wheels. Anyone have some suggestions? Im not looking to spend a whole lot.. somewhere around $1000... $1500 max with tires. So basically Im looking at knockoffs.. any suggestions?

Don't do knock-offs...just save up a little more get something worth getting. Don't be so desperate to put wheels on your car. Saving up another $1000 shouldn't be too hard if you own a Lexus...

I've always wanted to see a IS300 Graphite with Blitz Silver Z2s.. unreal! (I know you have an SC, just saying )

In the upper limit of your price range, you could squeeze into a set of dark colored Volks. (TE37) Though it will be a three month wait.

TE37 WITH tires for $1500? Really? I figure it's about $500 for tires, so that would leave $1000 which is $250 a wheel...for TE37's? Are you smuggling them in or something?! You can't even buy 18x7.5 RH Evolutions for that price!

Missed the tires part. But with some cheese ball Nankang tires (I won't sell them) it could almost happen.

What about the SSR's, what do those run? Think I seen those in Gun Metal on a RSX once.

SSR Competition 17x8 $379 each, say tires is $500. For $2000 you could have a nice setup, non-knockoff wheels that match the quality of your car, a LEXUS.
