FD wheels under $300?

I'm looking for some wheels for my FD under $300 a piece. I could go higher, but keeping wheel price low means getting DECENT (not great) tires. I'm on a budget as others here (unfortunately ). I like black (polished or matte) w/ a lip, but no polished/chrome lips. As of now, I've found XXR 521's and 5Zigen fn01r-c's that interest me. I'm afraid of getting something too cheap that won't last, but at the same time it's a weekend street driver that only sees the track maybe once every two years so I don't need crazy $600-$800 dollar a piece wheels. I know someone will throw out the Enkei rpf1's but I'd like to have something a little different from the masses. Also, depending on the offsets/sizes of the rims I was thinking either 17or18/8.5's all around or a 8 front/ 9 rear stagger.

Thanks in advance.

FN01-RC's are good for the money, Enkei does make other wheels than the RPF1, though I don't think RX7 owners are aware of that fact. You could always get some Rotas, I guess.
