FD: 18x12s that don't cost $1000 a piece?

Probably going widebody in the future. Is there something out there rim wise that doesn't cost $1000 a piece?

If not...I'd like to see some rims anyway

complete custom wheel aka CCW makes something basic, the classics are about as cheap as you can get price wise in a modular lightweight aluminum street or racing wheel for that size although they are probably $650 each IIRC. sometimes its possible to find a used set in excellent shape for cheap thru autox/hpde forums and because theyre modular you can buy a cheap set of 18x10's and change the rears into 18x12 without much hassle or cost.

Not sexy, but reasonable. Really popular with auto-x guys.

I'm not sure those steel wheels are an option, probably 50 lbs a piece?

$660 now we are talking.

Talk to Rishie. He's been a big help.
I've got the Burnout fenders (not as wide as Pettit's) but I've just been waiting for my body work to get done (need to figure offsets after). I planned on 18x12's since I need the rubber (20B) and have a line on cheap Michelin 335's, but I think I might end up going with an 11" wide wheel instead for piece of mind about fitment.

I'm going with the Work VS-XX's or the Auto Art VY's. They were less than $2500 shipped for 9's and 11's (F/R). I'm being a little vague because I don't know if Rishie wants his prices on some stuff out, but it was an average of <$600 each shipped.

the prices were from tanabe's website. They also have all the width, offset, finish and disc options listed on there.
