Default New Wheels...Any Suggestions

I have a 97 Accord. Over the span of 3 years, I have had to replace my transmission, left & right axles, & spindles. I have reason 2 believe its because of these heavy 18in chrome rims a buddy of mines gave 2 me. I seriously need to get these off asap. I want to go with a racing look since im tuning it out. Any suggestions as far as weight and size? Would just ordering some stock wheels from a local honda dealership be cheaper? I enclosed a pic 2 help. Thanks guys!

Put your stock ones back on. And your car does not have "spindles". It has sealed roller bearings.
