I dont know if Memory Fab is still one of this sites sponsors, I hope so(if not I apologize and you can delete this). They have used wheels on their site. Some real nice wheels can be had over there for around 1100.

Default Rims

RedPhoenix, Here are a few you might consider the PIAA Super Rozza 2pc (hyper Black) or the FALKEN Torque 5 (gun Metal) Finally the ENKEI A L Racing 388 (hyper Silver) I personally like ENKEI because of the light weight of the rim.
Here is the link:http://www.edgeracing.com/wheels/piaa/

I will go with works, volks, SSR and many more that have good quality and nicer than those you listed above. Other than that when you want to sell it back the value higher and easier to sell. I rather pay a little more for the wheel and run used tires than get brand new cheap wheel and run brand new tires. But then overall it your choice

always go with aluminum or the lightest rim possible. its easier on your suspension and they handle alot better...

yeah i found a lot of nice Stern wheels on ebay earlier today. From what I remember a lot of people were telling me Stern was made by another wheel company that is pretty reputable, I just cannot remember which one. Stern definately offers the better looking of the wheels.

Guess it really depends on the theme youre aiming for with your SC. If you're going the tuner route then the 5-Zigens would look great imo.
