Default cheap replacement wheels for Z?

Hey guys i have a cracked rim on my front left wont hold air and im going to have to replace. I cant find anybody to give me one wheel for a good price so i might just get a new set. What are some cheap brands even knockoff's if need be im in college paying my way so i dont have alot of money to spend. I would love some volks but thats just not possible. Was thinking maybe work emotions are their any cheaper wheels that look decent out there. 18's are prob the size im going for. 8.5 and 9.5 if possible. I dont know much about wheels for the Z im not too concerned about lightweight i want them to look good and still handle good thats all i want out of them. The only brands i know of are the ones that are like 3k and above any help would be great thanks.

Just get some rotas of your choice and throw some Falken Azenis rt-615 tires on them. Good overall cheap set-up.

Rotas. Look in the marketplace under vendors. Subydude is a vendor here and he has the best prices on rotas.

id like to keep it below 1500 for 4 wheels. A package under 2k would work pretty good as well.

DO NOT BUY THE ROTAS...

You can get any set of Work Emotion (XD9, XD7, CR KAI) for less than $1500.

Or you can get a set of nismos 18 or 19" for less than 1500 also on eBay (brinster34)...

Reason why you don't want the Rotas is you'll get insulted occasionally by the Rota haters... and why go generic when you can get real deal Work/Nismo for almost the same price?

If you're willing to spend up to 1500 on wheels, I would go with Work emotoin cr kai or Enkei rpf1 and nt03. Those can be had for under 1500 and the quality is there. Plus there light.

$1,500 for wheels is definitely possible. Check Tire Rack for clearance wheels.

Enkei RPF1's are pretty good wheels for a relatively cheap price.
