Exclamation Need Advice Quickly

I have the greatest luck ever (read with EXTREME sarcasm). So as most of you know, my car was vandalized last week, and this is after it was in an accident a month before. I needed to take it back in for some touch up rework after the accident repair and it was vandalized the day before I was to go back. Anyway, when I show up today to look it over the rims where all SCREWED! The edges were chewed to hell by the secondary company that mounted the tires.

Long story short, I should now have the option of getting brand new stock rims, or about $1700 for new rims. Please post as many suggestions as you can with some nice aftermarket rims that I could get for a set UNDER $1700, or if I should just stick with the stockers.

I need to know before tomorrow afternoon. Thanks guys! Oh, and post pics if you have any. Don't forget my car is white, so bronze/gold is an option.

Take the 1700, you can get some used volk te37's for that

For a good idea, go to tirerack.com and look at what looks good on your car

Rota Torques look just like the works emotions and are around $700 per set! look at Topspeed in atlanta, they sell those in 17 and 18 sizes... Great looking wheels!!

Either way, lord please take the $1700, then get you stock wheels if you want, and pocket the 1000-1100, or get a full turbo back exhaust and a stiffy and motor mount.
