The polished Race Stars are priced really well. You can get them through vendors for really cheap.

Or I'll trade you my Dark Stars for them FM10's.

The grey racestars that are out now, but they are cheap for a reason. Only reason I have them is I have 400 in the front and the rears

Race Star wheels probably your best bet.

Here is a little advice from me, I'm a dealer for them.

Most expensive: Dark finish
Middle: Polished
Lowest price: Gray bracket series.

I personally run a Weld and Race Star wheels on my car, I just converted it to 15's in back:
