Default Bang for your buck rims and tires

So I have been looking around at different wheels for awhile now. I really have a addiction to volk wheels I had them on my last car and they were great but defintly pricey! haha Anyway I was wondering what you guys would consider the best bang for your buck rims and tire package. Im talking about weight, performance, looks, etc the best for your buck. Im pretty sure I wanna go with 18s so I can have a little meatier tire and not such a rough ride. Performance is my ultimate goal though. What would you guys recommend. Whats the best bang for your buck as far as wheels go?

5Zigen FN01R-C seem to be very well priced for a lightweight wheel.

trying to find Enkei dealer that has or planning to have 19" RP-F1 or RPF1, seems like a good choice

Good luck finding someone to get you the 19" RPF-1's I tried for about a month and finally gave up - I really like them and the new RP03's...
