Default Best wheels?

what do you guys think are the best looking/quality rims that would retail for under $1500 for the set of 4? i was looking at TSW's but the ones i want (kyalami's), it seems might stick out a bit much in the rear. if possible, pictures would be greatly appreciated!

btw. preferably 18" wheels. and no preference on depth.

Any of the Volk GT-series (GT-A, GT-N, GT-C, GT-P, GT-blah blah) can be had for just about $1500 and those look very nice. Not very wide rears, but you can fit a 245 or squeeze a 255 on the 18x8s. Very nice looking tho.
If you were more open to sizes, I'd say the best option would be Weds SA90s from TireRack in 17x7.5 and 17x9...forged, ultralight, looks nice, and only $13xx...but they're 17s.

u guys have pics of how these rims look on our actual car? if 17s still look nice i mite just get that size.

so far i like the volk sf-winning wheels and the asa ar1's. i have no idea how much the volks cost. i cant find em on google. i like both of these cuz they look like the BBS RGR's my favorite wheels

I'd say do a search, but I know how bad the search sucks, but you can try it. Many members have Volks and Gramlight wheels, but most have the 1pc wheels (te37 and le28 are most popular). If you like the mesh look, check out the Volk GT-U...I really like the design of that wheel, but it looks more like BBS LMs than RGRs. There's a member in the socal forum selling his 18" RGRs so check those out. The Volk SF-series are pricier than their GT-series..I doubt you'll find the SF-series for around $1500 unless you have a hook-up. GT-series you can find fairly easily for close to $1500.

i decided that my heart's set on something with a "mesh" look like the RGR's. to me its the best style

so volk gt-u's, the kyalami's were nice lookin, the ASA AR1's are lookin really good right now, volk sf-winning. yeah. rimz are awesome

There are some pics over at the Gallery. Mine is the silver one. The mesh look is sweet also
