Looking into several sets of wheels...

Iv been looking into all kinds of wheels for the past few years mostly mesh style wheels... and some 5 spokes but found very few that i like...
Im looking into tire and wheel packages that range from $1,000 to $1,500...
Mostly interested in 18x8 (all in 4thgen offsets unfortunately) with 245 or 255 tires on all four corners. None of the ones that i have picked out come in the shade i want so i probably end up powered coating the centers some dark color like gun metal or some similar type of shade but diffidently not black... I Don't plan to purchase a set till spring, But all Add a side note: I have set 16" irocs now with tires that are hardly worth taking a long drive on, i thought about waiting on the wheels/tires/spacers and buying some Nitto NT01 since i planed on doing that later on and using that set at the track, but on the other hand i could just put that $500+ towards wheels and tires i don't plan to hit a track anytime soon... its just something iv been going back and forth on... anyway here is what iv come up with so far for wheels these are in random order... I will most likely upgrade to other tires then the ones provided...

Advanti A4 rims $1242


MRR Design GT-1 rims $1318


Kyowa KR-628 rims $1146


RPM R-505 rims $1022


RUFF RACING R281 rims $1238


TSW Snetterton rims $1246


TSW Zolder rims $1246

Re: Looking into several sets of wheels...

Where'd you find those pics? Those wheels look REAL familiar, but the name is escaping me.

Re: Looking into several sets of wheels...

There's a lot of rims that would look great there so many out there, some in and out of price my range the only downfall to most of them is i have to run spacers... Been Looking at tires, I think im going to lean towards the Nitto NT555 for whatever rims i decide to go with

Anyone found out what rims these are yet? They are some of the best 5 spokes I've seen to-date.
