Default Looking for 19'' wheels and tires for 06 is350

Im interested in getting 19'' wheels and tires for my black 06 is350 but im having trouble finding some online. Im interested in getting a black wheel with chrome of gunmetal spokes. Does anybody have any good websites or places I can look. I would like to stay around 150 per wheel and I have no idea what tires will cost for whatever wheel I decide on. Im basically in need of a good retailer with a large selection. Ive checked tire rack and their selection is minimal

Thanks

$150 a wheel? I don't think you'll find much (if anything at all) for that price point. And even if you do, I wouldn't trust the manufacturer either. Try at least a grand budget for some decent wheels. There's nothing wrong with riding on stock wheels. It'll look much better than some no-name wheels

What stock wheels do you have? It may look better to just to paint the ones you have and give the car a small drop to emphasize the sporty look.

well my car needs new tires so i was gonna see if I could find some new wheels to upgrade before I buy new tires. But wasnt really willing to spend upwards of $1000 on wheels alone. I guess I will keep rollin' on Stock 18'' wheels

If you want to spend $150/wheel and don't know tire costs, tires alone may blow your budget. ~$900-1200 for tires man.

XXR wheels, some members have them, IMO they look good. Depending on the set you choose, it can come to a total of about $1200 or so shipped. That's including tires.

With that kind of budget your best bet would be to keep your stockies and just get some springs (or coilovers ideally). Drop + stock > No drop + cheap aftermarket wheels.
