Wheel experts

ok guys i need ya'll help....

i'm looking for some lightweight rims... want to spend around $1500.

18s by 8 or 8.5, black with polished lip and something that will clear ROTORA BBK.

what are my choices here, i've been looking for rims for few weeks now and can't really decide what to get. My stock tires are going bald so please help me out here. I'm a when it comes to wheels... i don't get the offset stuff either.

thanx in advance.

Cant think of anything Lightweight for $1500 with tires. Most cheaper wheels are heavy.

I think for the most part, 18" wheels don't go too far over 24lbs. I had Konig Imagines on my CL and those were 23lbs a pop.

You will be limited with offsets though and still might need to use a spacer.

SSR comps in 17X8 will clear all BBk's. These are like 13lbs each. The other rims from SSR will clear in 18" form & are about 16lbs.

not a fan of 18s with a lip, they look way too small on cars.
