Default Any Suggestions on 18" Rims?

Any suggestions on 18" rims?

On a semi tight budget so no Forged rims (ccws, iforged, hre, etc). No ADRs, RPMs, Ruff, or OE Wheels (got a set already). Looking for something different, under $300 per rim. Also no vette rims please.

Preferably 18x9.5 or wider. between a 50-35mm offset.

Any suggestions or pictures will be appreciated. thanks

In the same boat... I want Black TTII, but they are custom. Boze wheels are $2700 and can't seem to spend that kind of money on wheels.

I was looking at the Z06 wheels from lakeshorewheels, but not sure...

Why not just sell your current rims to allow for an increased budget? IMHO, it doesn't make sense to look for brand new wheels for under $1200 + the tires. I suggest looking for a nice used set of "higher end" wheels with tires. If they are already in rough shape, you wouldn't care as much if you damage them even more, right?

Im keeping my current set for track use, and I rather buy cheaper rims, if i damage them i can always buy a replacement without hurting my wallet too much. Also i cant stand curbed wheels on my car. if they get curbed I would have them fixed right away or buy new ones. Also I rather some steal a cheap set of rims instead of a expensive set. I could buy 3 sets of rims instead of a "higher end" set.

Invo's are real nice so far, I've only hammered on the car slightly since I just had gears done last week aswell. They seem to have pretty good grip and are very quiet compared to the Kuhmo's I had before.
