Need help with wheel brands

Ok, I've got my sizes & I'm starting to look for some wheels for the 7. What are some good (not cheap, but inexpensive) not great (high dollar) wheels? If I can get some feedback, it will cut down on my research time & give me more time to spend with my son & playing with the car

Gramlights
Volk
Manaray
Trafficstar
Advan
work wheels
ssr wheels
Sport Max - cheap
weds - not and affordable
bbs
5zigen - nice and affordable
ame
blitz
piaa
Iforged - my favorite, pricey though
g-games - rays owns them now, good products
enkei
racing hart
adr- cheap so so quality
axis - their new penta is nice and the old super mesh is sweet

Now if your a baller and have 3k plus to blow I suggest ccw sp500 as they are so sweet its not even funny heres a pic of them on a supra.


Also 3pc iforged will be above 3k, i think the ccw wheels above run around 2800, than you have HRE, forgeline etc all very expensive.

SSR and Enkei both have good quality rims for reasonable prices.

You can also look for used wheels.

I've got an '88 TII, I'd like to stay $1000-1500 if I can, $2000 kills the tire budget I'm looking at either 17x10 or 10.5 or 16x10 or 10.5, with mixed offsets for front & rear.

In that casse there's the 5Zigen ProRacer GN+ 17x9.5 12mm offset, or the 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x10 12mm offset (21-22lbs). Those will probably cone in for about that price and will be about as cheap as you can get, and should fit with a small spacer if needed. The kind of sizes you're looking for aren't that common.

Black, thanks for your help! $209/wheel, that's easy enough to swing & leaves money for other goodies. I may get that HANS yet!
