WTB: Advan, Volk, SSR, BBS, Work, Wedsport preferably with street tires

I'm trying to find a second set of wheels for the street so i can put r-comps on my RPF1's in the spring.

What im looking for:
  • Advan, Volk, SSR, BBS, Work, Wedsport etc -- just something awesome and high quality
  • Lightweight/strong (most of ^^^ are)
  • 18" by at least 9" (will consider 17x10's)
  • Aggressive offset is fine but nothing rediculous (I'll roll the fenders if i have to but i dont want to look like a hot wheels car)

Some of my favorite wheels include:
  • Advan RS
  • Advan RZ
  • SSR comp (gunmetal or black only)
  • BBS LM
  • Volk CE28N (Gunmetal or maybe black)
  • 5Zigen FN01RC (Matte black 17x10)

Those or something like them.

I'm looking to spend $2000-2500 for wheels and tires

haha, i saw those and no joke when i typed out "will consider 17x10's" i almost wrote except whitesnowflake8's SBC RPF1's

They look good i just dont think they are the look i want on a titanium gray and i already have RPF1's.

Thanks though and good luck with the sale

i dont want to buy wheels because used can be so much cheaper and i have had good luck buying used wheels/tires. It seems like when you buy a used set of wheels/tires you get the wheels for a discount and the value of the tires is almost non-existent.

My "used" tires were pretty much free with my RPF1 purchase 18 months ago and I have around 37k of daily driving, 60-70 autocross runs and two very hot track days. I still drive them with no worries but they're going to kick the bucket here pretty soon. Pretty good bang for the buck i'd say. I'd like a repeat performance from a set of used tires

Actually i remember looking at those a while back and i do really like them which is surprising. I usually dont like polished lips but for some reason those look damn good.

I dont know man.. those are extreme, but i like them..

I dont really have ideal specs but i want a more aggressive look than the 18x9.5 +45 RPF1's that i have. I don't want to go narrower than a 9" wheels and i'd like to run 255's on them.
