Default Trying to look for wheels... [Need help]

I've been trying to find wheels for my car, but i can't seem to find anything that i like. I don't have enough money for new tires so i need wheels that are 18x7.5. I looked into xxr but i heard they are kind of a fake/knock-off company and i honestly don't really want to buy them, but some of their models are really nice. If any of you guys can suggest me some brands that aren't too expensive and have something that i like, that'd be awesome!

I want black/flat-black rims that are similar to these models.

Example #1
Example #2
Example #3

As you can see the spoke goes inwards and that's what i want. My budget is around 900$.

Again, if any of you can help me look for some nice wheels or just give me a brand to check out, that'd be really nice.

My advice would be to save up money and get something that you like and that fits the cars fenders. Dont want sunken in wheels ( I made that mistake ). You may also be able to use the stock tires on wider wheels depending on their size. (I have 215s on a 9.5 in wide wheels) I'd say keep doing your research and to make sure you are happy with your purchase.

Take your time and keep searching. Get something you really like esp when it comes to your hard earned money. Maybe use tirerack.com as a template to give yourself a better idea?

These will bolt right to the tC2

I got my wheels from Lexus of North Miami...and they sold me all 4 wheels the same size. You can get all 4 in 8" or 8.5" in these 18-inchers. And the offset is right for our car too! Lexus wheels are great quality wheels...

With our cars you want to get the right size and offset or it won't look that good. And with the tire size. The width of the rim can range from 7.5-9. Depending on the look you going for. If you want the stance look a 9 inch wide wheel will work and that gives you a little bit of a stretched tire with an 8 inch wide rim you really won't see much of a difference of how it looks now. And if that's what you like than you can be safe going up to an 8.5 inch wide wheel. And the offset you want to be around is roughly +30 to a +35. It will make the rim more flush to you car. Now when buying the wheels you want to find they exact ones you want then find them at a better price. So just search the Internet try google, google shopping, amazon, eBay, Craigslist, check the forums, check google for other sites, check google images stuff like that. Good luck!
