18 x 10.5 wheels < $1500 ???

Any recommendations? With 100's of options out there it is difficult to narrow down to a few. I have an Octane Blue X and prefer something in matte black. I'm more of a function over form kind of guy - I don't want bling. It isn't a daily driver - just used on weekends for cruising around town. Occasional track duty, but very light.

I'll be posting up my 18x10 +25 Advan RZ wheels this weekend if your interested in those. They will be in about that price range, but they do need to be refinished having some paint chipping. They are my track only wheels and have less than 300 miles on them. Got a new setup on the way for next year since I am going wider tires I need wider wheels with custom body work coming up.

If not I agree on the Enkie RPF1 and NT03 for new wheels in that size and that price range are going to be the best quality and lightest you can get! I have owned a few sets of both NTO3's and RPF1's on several of my Evos and love them!!

I've always thought rpf1's are hideous on X's. NT03's i think are the **** on our cars, and i honestly think that'll be your best bet for a rim in that size under 1500. They only come in +30 offset so you'll need a 10mm spacer.

If you're buying new, Enkei's is pretty much the only brand i'd trust in that price range. Pretty sure everything else everyone is mentioning is above 1500 for a set of 18x10.5's

I don't think they're hideous, but I'm not a fan either.

I like these a lot more than the other 2 mentioned, on the site I looked at, it doesn't mention a weight. Would these save a lot compared to stock? Thanks! Anyone else have experience with these?

Anybody have these and had good/bad experiences? I am looking for a weight and was hoping someone could tell me before I called and talked to someone there that has no idea... I think these would be the winners as long as I am saving some weight over stock. Thanks!
