If u gotta baby coming and thats ur budget for rims just wait bro especially if ur not lowering from stock height. Stack ur money. It doesnt look so bad that it has to be done and then money is tight.

If that's the budget you're working with you're pretty much limited to OEM and used OEM wheels. Which isn't a bad thing but if you want something different, something aftermarket, you're definitely going to have to up your budget.

With that being said, If I were to go the OEM route, these are the two wheels I'd consider lookin' at

18" Lexus G-Spyders



18" Lexus Tourmalines

Sure, they look cool. But u might wanna consider getting coilovers, or at least lowering springs, along with some spacers to get u looking proper. After rolling ur fenders of course..

+1 on the rims. They look nice and they're withiin your budget for now. Also, if you're looking to drop it a bit and keep in your budget, some Tanabe df210's will drop you nicely until you can get some coilovers.

Save your money man, get something you really like. What's the rush ?
If you don't like the wheels you have on, sell them and get some O.E.M wheels for now and keep saving!
