It really depends on the style you're looking for. The typical price is around $1K but some websites run deals on certain rims. I know here in Orlando there's a place that you can make payments on your rims, and drive away with them that day. I'm not sure if any other places do that but i know that place here does. If its still around I might go and get some Racing Harts which can be around $1500-1600 and have payments around $50 or so a month. It all boils down to what kind of style you want and if they're cheap so be it as long as you like them

If anyone here in Orlando or around the area know of the place I'm talking about tell me, I heard radio advertisements last summer and want to know where it is. Thanks

Buy used... I got a set of ADR 17's w/ Dulop shoes for $200. It has been the best performance upgrade to date. The lower profile tire took almost all the roll out of cornering.

WOW! That AKTireUSA.com is selling glow-in-the-dark wheels!

About the 17's... Rim can be damn expensive :\ I've been looking for 18's for under $1000, and it aint easy. Check eBay, but make sure to look out for high shipping rates, check the pictures carefully for curb rash, and read the discription carefully (for lug pattern, offset, etc.)
