In need of suggestions for rims

I'm gonna be in the market for some rims soon on my black 87 TII i was thinking of going black on black maybe with a chrome lip but i dont really have my heart set on anything. i dont really like the deep dish look and really thickly meshed ones are kinda meh. but anyway i wanna go with 17's as wide as i can get without moveing out past the body of the car, light as possible and i hope to keep it to a 1.5k buget. anyone seen any amazing deals?

any pics i have of the car are to big to upload on here =/

I'm getting some 17x8 Sportmax 006 gunmetal w/ chrome lip, on my 87 black t2.

You can get this rim in black w/ chrome lip. Alot more expensive:

To sit flush with the fenders, I would go with 17x8'' in the front and 17x9'' in the rear. All being +35 offset. Due to not being able to rotate your tires which will decrease the life of your tires drastically, i'm going 17x8 all around.

Get these. They match how gay you are.

stick with sportmax if you want cheap wheels and don't want your car to look gay. Or just get some vert BBS's/S5 TII wheels and spend the money you save on nice tires.
