XXR is prolly your only option for that price, plus tires.

19s if you plan on running a body kit. 18s if you're planning on stock body or going super low.

Have fun bending them and ruining them with pot holes. Balling on a budget never works.

Aren't most of us balling on a budget?

There's a right and a wrong way to 'Ball on a Budget'.

I'm not exactly swimming in dough...but I was able to score a set of 18" 5Zigen FN10R-C for 650 bones.

BALLLLLIN'!

Even well known brand rims bend and crack. Don't be so naive. You're talking like a child. If you run your wheels through curbs and potholes, do you really expect they'd withstand that? Is that the proper use of wheels? Anybody who goes aftermarket should know that it wouldn't perform as well as the OEM parts. The cars weren't tested on aftermarket parts when they were being designed. The 2 piece/3 piece wheels people buy are mostly designed for racing or show. Do they have potholes there? Think before you say ish that don't make sense. There's nothing bad about balling on a budget, it means you're spending your money wisely. Besides, if you bend it, for that price it wouldn't hurt as much as bending a 3 piece Work wheel etc..
