Recommended wheels for the fc?

Hey guys,
Due to an unforeseen circumstance i may need to replace my old bbs rz wheels. That got me thinking, what are the low cost go to wheels for the fc?
Im looking for something in the 16"-17" range, lightweight, and low cost.
What do you guys recommend?

I'm hunting around too,so If you do not mind I am gonna watch this thread!
I hope your misfortune wasn't at the hands of thieves.
Those wheels are Freakin awesome!.They are exactly what I had in mind for my car!
If you want "cheap" I would get a set of BBS Vert wheels temporarily while you shop for the wheels you want.The car would almost have the same look..(almost..)

I actually have a set of vert wheels, but the rb dual system presilencer wont clear anything on those wheels and tires, the cars just too low. the wheels weren't stolen, just a damn pot hole and I cant find a replacement. I love the wheels though, only ones Ive ever really liked on the car.

I've got work autostrada modena. Come 16 or 17 inches. I paid 150bucks for set of 17x7.5 and 8.5. Though they a bit rare I think and price depends on if the seller knows what they got. Get compliments all the time.

Can't go wrong with RPF1's either. Come up with a price range and we could point out some wheels. Full set of 17x9/17x10 RPF1's could be had for under 1k.
