Just Rims

Hey all, I am a little stumped on what rims to get. I don't want to spend like 1200 on rims. I want nice 18 or 19" but I want the rear to be wide? Is it possible to get nice rims for under 1200.00? I have tires so thats not an issue. I just want rims. So everyone, where have you been ordering rims, any nicely-priced websites? Do the ones you guys and girl have mount up to the TPMS? How much were just the rims? Any lost performance? I dont feel like reading every single thread to find out what I need to know so I figure I would just make a thread of it. Thanx for any info you guy/girls supply.

well u could always find rims cheaper then that. so im assuming ur gonna use or OEM tires? try wheels next. i believe. try searching for it. but u should want to spend more then 1200 for rims. at least expect around 2000.

For example, Would these fit?
Ebay

If they would what is the max size (width) tire I can use on them? Im new to buying tires and rims with offsets and whatnot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx again,

Rich
