Deep dish wheels
I'm going to be looking to put some aftermarket wheels on my FD and I was wondering what is a basic size that goes on the FD's? I know that people either put 17's or 18's on but I'm looking for something that has a pretty nice lip in the rear wheel. I love the iForged Aero's but I cannot afford to pay 3k for JUST a set of wheels, no tires.
I've really loved the looks of the Stern ST II's and they are a little less than 1k for the wheels, but how much would this affect the performance of the car? If there is a good combination of nice looking wheels (I'd like a chrome finish) that arn't too heavy and with a pretty nice rear lip, that'd be great. I like the simple/clean look of the iForged Aero's but again don't have the money for them.

Ok, well I've found some really nice wheels but all of them are around 3.5k with tires and I just cannot dish out that much money.
So I'm looking at "cheap" but nice looking wheels that fit the "nice lip, "bling" and not too much" criteria such as these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-ST...spagenameZWD1V
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-G3...spagenameZWDVW (in 18's though)
So I mean, I could get away with a set of wheels for about 1.6-1.7k with tires, pretty much in my range, but the only thing with these are that they are chrome and we know that chrome = heavy. How much are these wheels going to kill performance on the car? I want the wheels to look nice, but not sacrafice too much of performance.
