Need help on finding wheels

Alright, I'm going for show and go RX-8, and I know a lot of you hate having chrome on the 8, but I like it lol. Anyways, I need some suggestions. I was looking at some 19x8 Motegi DPK wheels for about $750 and I'm trying to figure out if there are any other wheels out there that you'd suggest. What I am looking for are the following

1 - Chromed
2 - Large Lip
3 - Simple 5 spoke like design

Price limit is ~$800 max, so not much of a budget to work with, going to look at getting 235-245/35 tires to wrap them with depending on everything. I have tein s-tech springs so the 8 is lowered a little.

Assuming you get a killer deal on some 18" tires... that's like 325-350 bucks on tires alone. That leaves rims at around 450 or so... not much to work with there. Save your money until you can buy something higher, and get something good.

Unless you meant 750 for just the rims, then you can get some chromed wheels.. but they'll be mucho heavy... the Pep Boys kind.

Sorry, I meant $800 for just the wheels. Max price is going to be around $1200-$1300 for complete package

I'm really liking the chromed Motegi 19" DPK's. They will run be about $700 for the wheels and then about what? $500 or so for some wheels?
