Default Good rims for cheap?

Anyone know where I can get some tight looking rims that are cheap as hell?? By cheap I mean in terms of price only, not quality. I have taken a liking to the white finish on some rims, but I am open to any style that you may know of that look good.

Konig are generally "reasonable" in their prices. They cost about $100 each for 15" wheel. Good quality, nice designs, and not heavy if you choose the right pattern.

I got some Konig GTRs that I'm happy with. Too bad they discountinue them.

Try some rota subzeros or some other light rota wheel. They are cheap.

The Kosei K-1 ($130, 13lb rim) is used by a large amount of autoXers and I have yet to hear of one failing. I personaly recomend them because I use them and they work well. Also, with a price tag of $130 I won't feel bad if I screw them up on a curb. Flip through a GRM and all their project cars use the Kosei K-1 as well as many of the feature cars.

THanks guys .... so far I am very impressed by the kosei k-1s. Those things look tight! I like the white finish. Anyone know where I can get a pic of a white 4th gen hatchback sporting those rims??

Forged rims are stronger than cast rims but they also cost more. IMO you get what you pay for.
