    Enkei GW8 $1300

    Looks like a good price, but that all depends on the tires. Probably budget tires.
    And as for rims, it's your personal choice.
    Modifications? I've forgotten more than I remember. Click here for the list.

    Size of the wheels would help as well

    And I agree with Hyperion that for those prices the tires probably aren't anything special

    I like the EKm3 wheels

    But the passion doesn't look bad as well, but that wheel looks like it meeds to be nice and wide

    I really like the look of the enkei EKM3...as for price, I'd pay $1600 and feel secure with the decision because of how much I like the look

    Keep in mind I'm no expert on the matter because I've never bought aftermarket rims....my opinion is based strictly on the pictures I saw online and the price to me was justifiable possibly out of inexperience in this type of purchase

    Cheers!

    Just posted rims/tires for sale in classifieds. Not any of the makes you mentioned, but, half the price. Check it out if that is a route you would consider.

    I've had the Dai Autobahn Matte Black in 18's for the last month, pretty solid rim so far.
