Just save your money and stick with the OEM wheels until you can afford wheels you really want.

or if you are just dieing to put new wheels on, check out this option from Tire Rack: 17x8 ASA AR1: $139 ea

or

through Discount Tire / Discount Tire Direct, there are some TSW wheel options (in fact the same style wheel I have on my car) that would fit within your budget as well... and would also be 8" wide...

GS400Rcrx,
I think the majority in this case is correct. You will be much happier with a set of 18s or 19s if you can afford them, granted you're not going to find them in the price range you're looking for unless you get lucky. Take your time to get what you really want and you won't be disappointed. I don't think anyone is dawgin your taste, they're just trying to help.

I mean I do understand that everyone is trying to help, but I really don't have a lot of money. For starters, I have to pay a lot of bills, I'm jobless, and I already have tires that have 95-100% left on them. So, I might as well wear them out first, or sell them along with my OEM JDM 17's.

wait and wear those tires out.. check out 1010tires.com or tirerack.com
theres plent of 18's or 19's you can get for around 1,000.. so hold out for a little bit and save anothe 200-300 buck for some nicer wheels

you will be much happier

be patient,... dont buy rims yet,... just drop the car,..... the GS looks real nice dropped w/stock 17's ...... save up some money and get 19 or 20's.... 18's are still small for the GS.
