I am looking for a 2nd set of wheels and i was wondering if anyone had opinions on the best balance of quality and price in a wheel? i was thinking of buying some rotas but i have seen a few pics of the spokes breaking off and the car riding the brake rotor off the road, dont want that :p. i guess i am looking to spend 4-600 on a set? anyway they would need to be 5 lug and 16", *maybe* 17.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...15168 also, was looking at these, see the part where it says professionally repaired, would that be somthing to steer clear of or...?

also, could somone possibly photoshop thoes wheels onto this?

thanks a bunch guys!!! ^^

OEM wheels have load rating much better than most aftermarket wheels and are still pretty light.

I sold those white wheels a year ago :)

I really like the 5Zigen FN01RC wheels, they're cheap, light, and from what I hear fairly strong. And they look nice. jspec has them for $800 a set not too shabby, more then you wanted to pay but still some nice wheels, I plan on buying them when I get back to the states.
