Arrow Need Help Finding Decently priced and looking wheels(Rims)

Well I am just finding out that the SSR Integral A2 Silver are discontinued. I am trying to find some but chances are slim.

So here I am after spending a few hours searching for what might look as good or better then the SSR Integral A2 and not burn a hole in my pockets. Below are my current specs I'd like to keep the Size 17 inch the same. Don't think it will matter if I change to 17 x 8 but the offset needs to be at least 38. I think Silver or Gunmetal should look good.

Help me out guys not finding the sites that carry some nice wheels for decent prices.

Size: 17X9
Lug Pattern: 5X114.3
Off Set 38

Car is Silver 1993 FD3 with GC Coilovers and Koni Yellow shocks.

I want to spend as little as possible but around $400-1500 for just rims. Up to 2K with tires

Thanks

Your best best is going to be finding some used rims. 4 decent tires to go on 17x9 will run you about $600-700 or so after shipping, mounting and balancing.

That's going to bring your rim money down.

If you like that 5-spoke design, 5zigen FN01R-C is similar and you could probably do that setup, with wheels for under $2000. Here's a picture of xchaos' car with them:

SSR comps are the best bang for your buck... they are very light and forged and look good and not too expensive

You can save huge buying used rims. I bought my Volks (see sig) off of ebay and got a great deal on them and they included tires.

but what about these rims?

http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/AZA/AZA.htm

im looking at the Z-2, they offer (2)(235/40/18) 8.5 for the front and (2)(265/35/18) 9.5 for the back, rims and tires for 1699.. is that a good deal? also, are A.Z.A a reliable name?
