20" wheels with tires, $2000 budget?

I purchased a set of H&R sport springs and need some wheels to compliment them. I really like the look of 10 spoke wheels. What would you guys recommend with a $2000 budget. I can probably spare a couple hundred more, but that would be pushing it. As of now, I'm looking into Sevas. Any other wheels out there that'll fit my budget? Thanks.

agreed.. look at the classifieds, some great used wheels might be there.
Also contact the sponsors, they always have great deals. Im sure they will be able to let you know what u can get for around 2Gs.

For that kind of money you really are looking at a decent used set. 3k can get you a set of volk/work/advan if you dont pay retail, msrp is usually $1000 or more each for a nice multi piece in good width/offset.

Amen to that! And remember, if you do find a set of 'cheap' 20's that are brand new, make sure its a fairly reputable brand.

You get what you pay for. AlterZgo had very informative feedback discussing Axis wheels...

Now, I don't mind cheap knock-offs, but what I don't like is their lack of durability. I cracked 2 of my Axis rims and if you search around other car forums, you'll find people w/ similar durability complaints.

And I'm not an idiot who doesn't know how to drive w/ low profile rims/tires either. All of the cars I've ever owned have had aftermarket rims and I've had Enkei, SSR, BBS, Borbet, Impul, Axis, and currently Work rims. The ONLY rims I've ever cracked were the Axis rims - twice! Furthermore, the clear coat on the Axis rims started disintegrating after a while and the Axis logo on the centercap fell off after a couple of years.
