OK, so one of my rear tires is flat and balding, and the other has a nail in it, so I figure I should just get rims now.

My question to you all is, what are some good 18's that are cheap. I don't care about name that much, just something that will fit and look nice. Prefferabley something with a polished lip and gunmetla/hyperblack face. I'm looking for something < $200/rim. Heres the nicest one I've found so far, Enkei ZR1 18x8.

http://www.enkei.com/PHOTOS%20JPEG/HighPSpecs/zr1specs.jpg

The only problem is these only come in a +40 offset, which I'm afraid might not clear the brakes, or will it? I would prefer not to use spacers, but I do have a pair of 5mm spacers if needed.

Also, I saw some Privat Fahren, 18x8 also. But I don't know what offsets they come in.

If anyone knows where to get either of these wheels for a good price, please share. Or if you have any other recommendations for some good looking rims that will fit my budget.

Also to anyone with an extra set of stock rims. If I could maybe borrow someones stock rim, I just need 1, I wouldn't mind paying you $20-40 to let me borrow just 1 rim for 1-2 weeks while I get new rims, just so I can drive around. I don't wanna drive on the spare as I need to go on the freeway, etc sometime. Or if someone has a used set of stock tires I would buy one. I just need one to get around on for a while. Any input/advice/help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance :)

i like 5zigen so i'll do a bump for them. i can get most 5zigens in an 18 x 7.5, usually all 4 with tires for about 1400-1800.

I'm already a 5 Zigen dealer. The stock rims are 17x8, why would I want to go narrower? ;)

Rim's & tires were like ~$1500.

It was hard to get some good shots at night w/o a tripod. I'll try to take some more during the day tomorrow.

The Enkei's are pretty heavy, but I dunno, I never felt it w/o the tires on, w/ the tires, they're pretty heavy.

I seen those rims on tirerack and wasn't really impressed. But they look awesome on the EVO. I like the overall scheme of your ride, it stands out from the rest but doesn't look over done! Nice ride.

I actually thought they were gonna look horribly ugly lol.

But they actually look really good on ur ride. And the price tag makes it look even better.

Car looks sweet. I had the FK-451s on two previous vehicles, and I liked them. I am eagerly waiting to see how you like the tires. I want to get some for my EVO. They are good in the rain too.
