I like the Moda R6 in 18". They're $249 a piece at www.tirerack.com

Yes, they're a bit heavy at 29lbs, but I quite like them, especially given your budget.

Take a look at the HP Evo. Very nice mesh wheel with deep lip for under $900 for the set.

How about the Kazera KZ-A I think that's $280 per wheel. I think it only comes in polished.


I also like the Work Emotion CR KAI (only weighs like 19 pounds), which is about $300 per wheel. Comes in Gold, Gun Metal, and Polished.


I also like the Ace Alloy Spyder. It actually comes in the perfect offset/size for the sedan I think. It's $228 at this store.

Yeah, of all the rims discussed thus far, Work is probably the most reputable brand. (Right behind Volk/Rays from what I hear). Though they are also the most expensive of the ones discussed thus far.... Just a matter of what you're looking for I guess...

Stock G35C 18" rims..... looks very classy and large. You can get a set of $700 with tires from Ebay.

careful there, while some have said they don't rub, some have said they do, at +30mm offset it's VERY close...

interested in the Work Emotion CR KAI most... btw, thanks for all the suggestions! I was planning to get the G35c one, but kind of risky... Are there any bad things about Work wheels? some said they would bend easily...
