ummmm...I personally don't like 5 spoke...too plain IMO, unless they're either JIC Force 5's, Enkei RP03's or Advan Kreiser (sp) V.
I'd rather go either split spoke (Volk RE30's or Enkei RPF1's)
but then again...i still don't know your budget.
have you decided on what size and width you're going with yet?

Ok so out of the budget given.
Here's some options for you.
Enkei RPF1's - 18x9.5 w/tire
Some forum vendors sell this set up - see if you can get a deal.
or
Rota Boost 18x10 +45(I apologize for the pic size)
$999 for wheels - no tires included
Rota Grid 18x8.5 +38 (they also come in other colors)
$999
Rota SVN 18x9 +30
I know a lot of people don't approve of using knock off brands but if you're really not looking for name brand - and you don't plan on driving the car too hard (i.e. Track, auto-x) and you're not concerned about horrible wheel weight (like 25+ lbs per wheel) then the Rota's aren't a bad choice.
My first choice would be the rpf1's though

ummmm yeah no...
Go check out some of the forum vendors...I'm telling you.
Go to the front page and look at what some of the forum vendors are selling right now...Fluid Motorsports always has sales and Rishie at AutoRnd always has sales (his site might still be down, but he still dishes out orders)
here's some more websites that might help you make a decision on wheels
www.1010tires.com (<=favorite site because it'll give you wheel size, width, offset and weight)
www.wheeldude.com
www.wheelsnext.com
www.hopupracing.com
www.good-win-racing.com
^^ i frequent these sites and they're pretty legit. I strongly suggest checking out these sites before purchasing your wheels

Isn't an Enkei wheel an Enkei wheel no matter who you buy it from? I just ordered wheels from Discount Tire Direct - I would have preferred another vendor, but in the end, they had the best price by far, on the same merchandise, so why wouldn't you buy it from them? I don't think Discount Tire stocks all the super high-end brands, but if you find the same wheels there for less, I don't know why you'd pay more just to buy them from somewhere else.
For example, Konig Hotswap 19x8 on Discount Tire Direct are $195 each. Konig Hotswap 19x8 on Wheelsnext are $283 each. Petrol Octane 19x8s are $320 on DTD, $349 on Wheelsnext.
Obviously, customer service and such is important, but I don't know why there would be any difference in quality between vendors for the same wheels by the same manufacturer.
