Wheel question

Guys, I'm looking for a cool 18" mesh style wheel with a deep lip for my FD. Does anyone have any suggestions on what brand/model I should get and where? I'm trying to be a frugal as possible, and am looking for a wheel/tire combo.

I'm trying to stay at or below $1200, sub $1000 for a used set would be awesome.

Ugh, there are no well made mesh 18" wheels for $300/wheel that I'm aware of....

What about Enkei RPM2? No lip though.

http://www.enkei.com/HPSpecPAGES/rpm2Specs.html

According to that page, 18x8 +45/18x9+38. They sell for under 300 apeice.

I always thought Enkei made good wheels? Is there something about these that wouldn't work on an FD? Brake caliper clearance?
