Quality wheels?

Hey I had my oem 19" rays painted ob black and the lip hyper silver. I made some bad decisions and ended up driving up a curb and denting the front left wheel. 2 of the right side wheels have some curb rash. One from me and one from someone else driving my car. I figured instead of getting my wheels redone (with my car sitting on jacks for a few days since I don't have a spare set) I should just get new wheels. I'm looking for some 19"s staggered with the deep lip look at least for the back wheels. And I'm looking for wheels comparably as light as the rays. I've tried searching and saw recommendations but the wheels weren't my style. I looked on wheelnext and something tells me those wheels aren't that great and the am forged are over 4 grand with tires. Is that what I should plan on spending? I also noticed a lot of you guys run f19x9.5 r19x10.5 I'm guessing thats for looks. Would f19x8.5 r19x9.5 look fine with better performance and gas mileage?

take a look at wedsport. They have some nice forged wheels and you won't have to pay the premium needed for works/volks, etc.

Why not check our Marketplace under private classified....wheels/tires....19"? If you can find a wheel package you like you'll save quite a few $$....

I'll check those out. Thanks fellas. I would get another rim but then I'd have to get it painted again and my other 2 fixed and I think I should just spend $ on a new set since I've always wanted the staggered deep dish setup. I guess I just needed a reason to buy new wheels.
